ArtistsRifles Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) Looking for a good condition Mk/MJ roof panel to replace the torn one covering the front half of my Militants load bed. Edited June 25, 2018 by ArtistsRifles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKES Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Neil, Might be worth taking it off and letting one of the canvas specialists have a look at it as they might be able to repair / let a section in before it gets any worse. There are a few good ones advertising on the net. Can't imagine there are many new or good second hand canvases about but it would be nice to be proved otherwise. Good Luck. Mike.

Thats the oveerall plan so I have a spare but might have to do that anyways. Annoying thing is that will mean stripping off the entire front end of the load bed whilst its done but a standard tarp might be able to cover it over. I need to replace all the tie-down ropes with synthetic so a good reason to crack on with that 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin craig Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 what was the result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Nothing yet Robin. This is the mail sent - it may take a few days for a firm to reply to a private individual I guess. Quote To: "enquiries@comptons2000.co.uk" Date: Tue 26/06/2018 22:03 Hi, Your firm was recommended to me by a friend as being able to supply the sheets for ex-MOD vehicles. Do you have the drawings for a Mk 1 Militant GS 6x6 roof, end and side sheets in your files? If so what would the cost be for a full set of replacement sheets?? Failing this - can you supply an MK/MJ Roof sheet? Many thanks, Neil Plucknett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2691H Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Neil. Try Vehicle Independent Parts (Hastings) Ltd 01424858314 Bedford Truck Parts Sales. Graham Eaton He took all my Bedford parts and sheets as I have had to clear kit due to injury. I know it included two roof sheets one used with slight edge damage and one new with a hole which can be repaired. Good luck Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
