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.

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.
