Calleva Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) Hi My 1971 TR6 has a white American spec hood with the reflective side strips and zip out window. It has had this trim since I bought it in 1979. In 1981 I was able to get a complete American spec.set from a motor factors in Birmingham. Hughie Hill if I recall?? Anyway as I will have owned my car for 40 years next year and we are going to the 50th celebration of the TR6 at the International I’ve decided to splash out on a new hood. I’m going to import the replica hood with the reflective strips from the Roadster factory in USA and what I need are recommendations for a supplier who can fit the vinyl hood onto an original hood frame. I live in Hampshire. Edited December 9, 2018 by Calleva Typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boogie Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I've just had my hood fitted by Elite Windscreens and Soft-tops. Joe did an excellent job and he travels all over the country. His number is 07711 767972. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BritishRacingGreen Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I replaced my 42 year old US hood cover this year with an original quality cover (complete with reflective stripe and zip out rear window) – purchased from Rimmers UK. The quality was exactly the same as the original fitted to my car in 76. I then had the cover fitted to the original hood frame by Revingtons in Somerset who made a first class job. If you wanted to see the quality of fit and finish, I’m happy to meet up for a coffee and a chat somewhere between Hampshire and where I’m based in Dorset.

Calleva Posted December 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Rimmer brothers can supply American Spec in Black only. So looks like an order from the Roadster Factory in USA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brian -r Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 You may be able to get one made and fitted in the UK try AldridgeTrimming in Wolverhampton or possibly Don Triming in Birmingham Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
