Surrey Top

[Guest Jameslark]

Has anyone got any dimensions or a diagram of a Surrey top for a 2B. I could just measure but if anyone knows the exact dimensions it will no doubt be better than my efforts. Also if anyone knows of a really good seamstress or do I go back to Lesley Storr?

You will have to go a long way to beet LSD.

The stuff I have seen are worth the price.

There are mno exact dimensions. It depends on where and at what angle you fitted your screen.

Best fit is with the car in front of you..

I agree with Ian, LSD made a hood bag for my Zero and the workmanship is superb.

Just had very bad news back from Lesley at LSD. She doesn't do surrey tops and has referred me to Oxted Interiors. Has anyone used them because from the website it looks mighty expensive.

Make your own --- if you can knit that red jacket a surrey will be a doddle.

I am in the process of completing a surrey type top for mine. All I need to get now is some of that plexi glass window stuff and cut out and put a window in the rear.

 

I found that it's not difficult to do but it is time consuming putting it on, marking a point, taking it off, fitting press stud, refitting etc

 

You can see my attempts towards the end of my web site photo album.

I'm with Bob make your own it isn’t hard and if you look around you will see there is loads of different ones but however you do it go for the awning rail over the screen and forget press studs I used press studs and put up with getting wet every time it rained (I tried lodes of ways to keep it out some better than others but none very good) But last year the old surrey finally gave up so bit the bullet and fitted an awning rail, Just wish I had done it sooner as there is not a drop getting in now.

Buy some 'Sail Cloth' and make your own. I know that John Stewart (EM) has made several tops for people in the club.
