Hi Guys

Can anyone suggest / recommend a company that can manufacture a soft top for a Buggy, as I am struggling to find anyone that willing to take on the job.

Happy to travel to find the right trimmer?

Any suggestions would be greatfully received.

All the best.

Peter

Hi Peter. The guy who did mine did a fantastic job. I got it done through a third party but I've just messaged him to find out who did it. Hopefully still in existence as it was 12 years ago.

I will be looking for the same but as I am down on the south coast I will be enquiring at Yacht trimmers, they make boat covers well enough 

Surprised to hear that trimmers seem unwilling.  I too will travel to someone really capable of a good job.

Just an idea because this topic has come up before  -  We ( the forum) has a stand in Birmingham coming up soon

perhaps the attendees could do a recce of the the stands in the halls to find out if there is anyone out there still doing this type of work ??

or try these people    http://www.donhoods.com/about.htm

This would be greatly appreciated by me as I cannot attend due to prior commitments work wise.

FInally got a reply on this. The people that made my soft top are http://www.jpking.co.uk/

It really was a first class job made to fit my rollcage as the frame for the soft top. It has zip in doors/windows, which I only use when it's really tipping it down. I can post some pics if anyone's interested. I did try and ring him today but no answer??

Mine was made by West Country Trimmers over in Bovey Tracey (Devon)  01626 833722

Difficult to say, as mine was "mates rates"

Give them a ring and ask for a quote on something identical to mine

Flags made his own last year on location in Germany at IBW...... though he did make a bit of an a*&%e of it

I really wanted John at CC Trim to do mine but as soon as I came to be at the top of his waiting list, he would go away on holiday or be busy with something else - gave up chasing him in the end. I think he did Jonathan, Allan and that 70's kid's buggy too 


After driving to Germany and back without a rough and being caught in various storms over the years though, I'm not sure I still need one.
