As the title suggests - need to find a firm, preferably in or around London (midlands will do too if they're good and inexpensive) that can supply new curtain sides for a box lorry (DAF LF55). The fasteners need to be ringlets rather than usual ratchet straps.

Can anyone help?

Usually DAF would just make the chassis and the cab (in true old coach builders style) even if it did come complete from DAF. So you need to work out who made the box body. Then it should be a simple matter of finding their address and asking them to supply a new one or pointing you at their suppliers.

Used these guys a few times in the past, doesn't matter who makes them , fitting them isn't difficult.
