Blurb,
JK do them, dont think the canvas is as thick as original, but not too bad on the price.

Not sure if Individual Interiors do them or not.

Hi ScoobyDrew

Just spent the morning replacing clutch slave cylinder - thanks to Tex Ritter for help and advice, off to replace the "missing" coolant now. Will check out the two sites, thanks for info.

If Go Westy ever respond to my emails I willpost their reply on this thread.

If they ship they do some really good stuff for Westys www.gowesty.com

Thanks for help, thisnk I will pursue the US option as it sounds much more durable. Think it is rip-stop nylon and has extra windows. If I get one will post some pics and feedback on the forums.
