Hi Peter
Hoping to put some sponge rubber under the front skip plus have a
Stormflap under the skip and against the top of the windscreen frame.
Should stop any ingress of water there. Stopping it coming in round the sides
of the windscreen is harder.
As regards getting tension right could be tricky. I hope to get the front assembly and roof
made as one piece. Then make the rear piece and use the long seam across the rear hoop
Where they join to take up any slack in the joined parts. Final tension can be adjusted by the actual fitting of the
liftadot sockets around the bottom edge of the rear of the hood.
Thanks to the other responder about tips with the sewing machine.
Hope to make some simple storage bags for the frame, the hood cover and the sidescreens
before I start sewing the hood.
Progress halted today to attend to flood in the bathroom/kitchen and the central heating controller
packing up! What next!!
