MG TD TF 1500 - TD hood

Is anyone aware of a hood supplier for a two bow hood other than Moss Motors. I am after a stayfast hood and a sidescreen kit for a two bow frame except with the sidescreens I don't wish to purchase the spearpoint kit as I already have one.
Any help appreciated.

John, Have you tried B&G? Just an idea. PJ

Thanks Paul,
I will try B&G.I overlooked them for I was under the impression they would be similar to Moss.

I haven't been displeased yet with any orders from them. Of course I haven't ordered any hood material from them either.
I did order a one in Mohair from Prestige in the UK for our 72 B and love it! But I don't think they make hoods for the T series, but anything is possible. PJ

The same as for me. I have a 71B and obtained a hood from Prestige when I was in the UK and I am extremely satisfied. They have just advised they cannot help me for a TD hood. I have now contacted B&G and await their reply.

Check Abingdon Spares. I think they carry what you want.

Best price I've seen. WWW Topsonline sells Robbins stay fast and vinyl tops as well. Almost 1/2 of what moss charges

LBC has them.

LBC is really just a Moss outlet so... Cheers

While that is generally true, they also provide things from other sources.

In this case if you follow the link it states in large letters:

Tops & Tonneaus
Made in UK

Isn't there a place for hoods in the UK called Dons trimmings???

I have sent an email to Don's hoods and am waiting for their reply. Also from Tops online.
Thanks to all for your help.

Hi John,
I recently fitted a two bow hood and side screens from B&G and would not recommended them if you are at all fussy? (who isn't, they're not cheap after all). When I complained all they could say was they haven't had any complaints to date!! Well now they have and I'm more than happy in not recommending them for several reasons.

Hi Cliff,
Many thanks for the update and the good advice. Imagine if I had your problem and me trying to resolve it from the other side of the world.
Think I will go with www.topsonline.com for they sell Robin Hoods.

John,
Let me know what you think of the Robbin Hoods after it arrives.

John,

I have seen good materials and fit on interior kits from PJM Trimmers. Perhaps too late for you.

RE LEBCARCO. Jeff is a Moss supplier, but he also gets parts from a variety of sources. Moss was recently out of rod bolts. Jeff told me he could get them from his British supplier.

I have asked Jeff to find me items that I was not satified with from Moss (MGB GT wind wing rubber for instance). He will make a good effort to find what you need.
