Roadster SWB MK2 Frame and Hood

[boardman]

I am looking for a frame and hood for my MK 2 SWB roadster. Any condition would be useful.

If I remember correctly there are instructions somewhere on this website on how to make you own (folding) hood frame.
As for the hood, that will be difficult and I think your best bet is to find a poor one and then use it as a template. It's quite a simple thing.
I was lucky and found a NOS hood - but it took 3 years of looking and proved to be very difficult to fit. If I did it again I would get one made or even try to make one myself.

This will show you the way it looks and works, there are other posts to give you the dimensions etc of the frame

There are some dimensioned sketches for a folding hood frame in the July '85 Pitstop magazine. There is also another similar design somewhere which I used several years ago. If I can find it, I'll let you know where.
