I'm doing my own at the moment. Its in grey - the same material as the seat covers......
Thankfully only doing the cab section, as the rest is cut away. Will put some pictures up if it works, and deny all knowledge if it goes horribly wrong!!
So far, I have cut the material, and got the two loops for the ribs in. Each rib has red piping as well (I like the easy life).
Tonite will see me finishing off the red piping on the second rib, cutting the holes at the front for mirrors and sun visors.....Hopefully cutting the shape out for the doors, then hopefully at the weekend attemtping to fit.
However, I am not going to remove the windscreen just yet. Hoping to somehow "stick" the front edge of the headling over existing. Going to leave existing rolled back in void, so that if it looks "pooh" I can pretend it never happened!!
Its been fun trying, and it looks good on the lounge floor.....
Must admit, I am a bit worried about it being "breathable" - so will make mental note to paint inside of cab with waxoyl based paint, or rust protection hammerite. Also want to insulate.....its a converted panel so there is nowt behind the lining!

dave - if you have got the original one as a template....then it might be worth contacting the lovely Pam at the Pluss Organisation...they are very reasonable, and their work is good too! They have just done all my cushions and the front seat covers. The fronts they did from my very simple paper patters and they look really good. Thread in campers...
Will take some photos, though.

OK this a shameless plug for my sis who runs Camper Comforts (see the link in my signature) She's seriously top notch and very reasonable, as she works from home and has no overheads. She's doing me a full custom interior, rock an roll bed, curtains...the lot so when it's done, I'll post some pics.

or call Mel on 07952253257
