Ken in Kent Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hello All, I have a white TR3a with a red interior. I am trying to find a matching red hood stick cover and someone to fit this in the Margate area of Kent. Can anyone assist please Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph Whitaker Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi Ken, I think it will have to be made to order, as the main suspects usually only stock black or white, but I am sure that John Skinner, or Don hoods could make you a red one, but I would see if you can find a bit of the existing vinyl somewhere that you could snip off as a sample to make sure you get a match. Don hoods are currently doing me a black one and at the moment are quoting 4 weeks, but pricewise they are reasonable and they also supply all the fasteners in with the price. You will still have to fit it to suit the car, sorry I can`t help, too far away. Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Owen Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) I doubt this helps but.... http://trf.zeni.net/TR2-TR3GB/334.php A red one is on my list of eventualities. Put there by my wife. Edited January 12, 2021 by David Owen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Difficult stuff trim. What colour are you trying to match the red hood stick cover to? What colour edging/welting on the hood stick cover? Here are the Everflex hooding material colours https://www.martrim.co.uk/car-trimming-supplies/everflex-vinyl-pvc-hooding.php Colour chart https://www.martrim.co.uk/marketing/sample-card/retail/vinyl-card-1b.pdf Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Your side of the pond will probably source Haartz mohair type material. http://www.haartz.com/exteriors/cloth-topping I have a black hood stick cover in mohair that I have not yet fitted so a photo of it in its bag maybe of little use. It is made from Happich material which is very much like the Haartz. Look here it has Ben covered before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
