mrehke Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 As it says on the tin...I am hoping to have a Don Trimming Mohair hood fitted to a TR4a - TR GB did not welcome this prospect when I called them this morning. Any recommendations, apart from the obvious? Many thanks in advance... Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrehke Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Stuart - Thanks for the suggestion - unfortunately when I spoke with Dons they said that they would not be able to fit the hood until after Summer - I might possibly get very wet during this time (this is not meant as a criticism of your suggestion)... Shows you how "Spring fever" engages this sector! Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrehke Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Jason - Thanks for the suggestion - I feel that the hood is probably one fitting where I pass the buck to someone who does this for a living - possibly very easy to get it slightly wrong and regret it. The fact that TR GB are not enamoured about fitting a Mohair hood speaks volumes to me... Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jase Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Vinyl hoods are fairly straighforward but I have to admit a mohair would worry me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrehke Posted February 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Have managed to find STCS in Coventry, who are professional hood fitters... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Mohair hoods stretch quite well when fitting to the vehicle, double duck ones don't stretch the same! Make sure you have a webbing kit ready, may as well change that while hood is off Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
