reapholstering of roof panels

[chopps]

I will try not to post this twice..... Does anyone know of a good upholstery firm who would be able to deal with re-doing roof sections of my S? I'm in Biggin Hill, so Bromley, Croydon or surrounding area would be helpful. I thank you....

Will that be all four roof panels?

Sorry Chopps


ETA. I bet you've got a four-poster.

I wish I could be more helpful, but I'm oop north, I'm sure someone will be along soon with recommendations.

Lol! Just the two.......

I am just starting to look into this, I reckon just the panels is something a handy amateur could have a decent go at, if we could source the material.
Peel the old covering off and "Evo-Stick" stretch new covering on, replace seals. How hard can it be??? ( famous last words)
The folding hood section would be a different kettle of worms though.!

Some very useful info available from the (happily back) TVR Series website.

I could do with mine doing but I'm a little nervous

I reckon it could be a whole new can of fish Mike.

I reckon cutting the slots for the "tangs" neatly and in exactly the right place would be the tricky bit

I'd be interested to hear Han's views on the subject.

Norman did the roof panels on mine, he might have some thoughts.

You might try Cass Bros trimmers on the A21 south of Bromley, opposite the Shell garage. I've spoken to them before at Bromley Pageant of Motoring about refurbing some leather seats and they were very helpful. Not used them personally though.

I have done some investigation into this, but haven't got the nerve to try it myself so will probably end up paying a professional.

Anyway, if you need it, material can be sourced from these guys.. they sent me a sample and it looks top quality.

Good luck!

I have e-mailed these people, thanks for the link Sandgrounder.
How hard can it be.... ?
I also read the link to the "How To"
Sounds straight forward ish.

[Elfit]

I need to do this too.

Do the car-hood people send it out with stitching in do you know?
