Graham Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hi Can anyone in the North West suggest a 'local' supplier of olive drab coloured waterproof canvas? I only need small pieces to make a rain cover for my open sidecar seat. It is a WW2 sidecar clone. Cheers, Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thank you all for your help. Bit incapacitated at the moment but hope to contact people within a couple of weeks. Thanks again, Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 'Thank you' for suggesting Mayor & Sons, Preston as a canvas supplier. I went there today - not the sunniest of chaps - greeted with a growl but he became more helpful - I was told later that I must have caught him in a good mood. Anyway he said they only have a limited supply of canvas now (Jan 2011) in bright green and bright blue. He suggested I approached military vehicle cover makers. I did buy some olive Gortex from Feltons, Lincoln Street, off Deeepdale Road, near Preston prison. Good waterproof cloth that looks, from one side, good enough for my WW2 sidecar replica seat cover. Feltons have some great boots for sale. No connection just a satisfied customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim On a similar vein, do you (or have done in past) make the canvas sand mats used in western desert by LRDG etc (the ones that take wooden slats in canvas sleeves with pointed end and rope on end) I sent similar message, some months ago, via your website email contact link but nothing heard so far cheers gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
