E30 Zone

Hi just wondering what fabric the hood on E30 is? I've seen a lot of new ones are 'Mohair'.

I've found this link which explains a bit:

Also found 2 hoods, one that is Sonnedecke and one that is Stayfast.

Pretty cheap here:

Anyone know?

Canvas.

To have a decent quality hood fitted,expect to pay in the region of £750.

It's worth contacting the specialist breakers,as good s/h hoods do come up from time to time.

Problem is, I need a blue one which isn't as common. Will the ones in the above link not be decent?

they will be ok but from usa you will have customs to pay, postage ,then fitting it.just not worth it.one will come up s/h.if you do go with one,s on ebay make sure there canvas

I thought the original roofs were mohair.

Original roofs were sonnenland, for a very good quality roof do a google search for "BAS international" they do all colours for 450ish, i fit one on my old cab and after several years it was as good as new.

417 pounds and they used to come with the rivet panel too - not worth reusing an old one

Cheers for that guys. The second link in my OP shows quite a few, I assume the best quality is the top one, "German Sonnenland Cloth/Canvas".
