Tied this in the Bodywork forum, but haven't had any response, so thought I'd try here...

Need a custom hood made for my Samurai - however, it's not a standard roof, as it needs to run over the top of the cab, then vertically down the back of the cab (convertible pickup conversion done).

Ideally I'd like heavy duty khaki canvas, and a degree of watertightness!

Any ideas where I could procure such an item? In this instance, google is not being my friend.

On the South Coast between Portsmouth and Brighton if that helps.

TIA

I'll be needing one for the disco at some point in the future so that is nice to know.

Any a little further north? I can imagine getting soaked several times on the way there

Hi there. Try....
http://www.softbitsforsevens.co.uk/
They are based near Brighton IIRC.
They primarily make tonneaus, roofs, luggage bags etc. for Caterhams and other kit cars but also provide a bespoke "one-off" service.
They made a fabric "half-hood" for my mates Westie and it is spot on.

You could try Soft Bits for Sevens, they do bespoke stuff and they're on the limit of your range at West Chiltington.

edit: <must type faster>, but two endorsements for the same company can't be bad

Spyder/Nuisance,

cheers, will be giving them a call today, although it doesn't look like they do 'Land Rover' style canvas.
