Ali and Gail Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Hi folks, can anyone recommend a half hood website or maker. I have the standard west field 50mm roll bar on an 1999 SEiW. Also does anyone know where I can get the roof repaired. There is a six inch tear along a seem by the wind screen press stud. Thanks Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrooge Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Try Softbits top quality...they have had a difficult year...but worth a call 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Soft Bits for Sevens is the company name, AFAIK, they're the only company other than Westfield, that have patterns for, and advertise the supply of, half hoods. There are various trimmers, and hood specialists dotted around that have done one off's for club members, but, WSC and SBfS are the only two that really advertise them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 With the standard roll bar do you have enough headroom for a half hood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 With the standard roll bar do you have enough headroom for a half hood? The Soft Bits for Sevens half hood is fine with the standard roll bar though some additional roof supports are a help. FYI I am 6'1" and have the standard roll bar, standard seats and standard flat floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ali I took my mouse eaten hood to a local (to me) boat trimmers who patched the hole, cut the back off and attached some straps to turn it into a half good - cost me £40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Interesting. I took my car to the Westfield factory 18 months ago so they could try to figure a higher support for the half hood with standard bar. They failed. I have also put a piece of 2x2 across and my head is higher. I'm 6'0". Must have another look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I have had repairs done at Timpsons in the high street. They normally mend shoes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
