Wet weather gear
Ok, got the car on the road - next expense is to get a 'woof' - anyone got any ideas / links / recommendations / even a roof lying around
surplus? The only one I've heard of is 'Soft bits for sevens' but they don't seem to supply a full one?

i'm after a boot cover/tonneau that I can remove in 3 parts if that makes sense?
Anyway I've rang around and this is where i'll be going...

They were about 30% less than softbits for 7's for exactly the same thing. Heard some great things about them too.

I know this may be a difficult one to answer but what is a rough idea of the cost of getting a good quality hood made for a Locost?

It depends on what you want it to be made of it seems. Mohair costs a fair bit more but looks 100x better(IMO) will last the life of the car and
doesn't sag etc.

I saw this in the flesh, and it looks very good, and different. (the blue quantum).
I might be able to find out some more info if you want.

Sorry to barge in, but with reference to the quantum above, I like the doors/sidescreens with the bulges, does anyone know the dimensions of them or
whether they would fit a luego velocity?
Why do it the easy way, when I can do things my way!

Xtreme Kermit comes to the Baldock SG7 kitcar meets and im pretty sure he has these doors on his car.
Might be worth a U2u for some rough dimensions or pop along to a local meet for a measure up. They do look good and i would be interested to see if
they fit a Velocity too.
Give a man a fish & it will feed him for a day, give him a fishing rod & you've saved a fish.

thanks, but I don't think a hat will keep the carpets / seats / dash dry unless its a pretty big 'un!
I think caterham do the doors with bulges, but not
cheaply
link
also full doors with the 'posing
pouch'...lin
k
I like the idea of DIY, chippy but-I'm not convinced of my sewing skills!
anyone for any more links and ideas?
