Kas Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hi all, I'm after a hood bag for my 1997 SEW. Looking for something like what Soft Bits sell and thought I'd check here before ordering one. Looking for something like this : https://www.softbitsshop.co.uk/westfield-full-hood-bag-1036-p.asp Let me know what you have and if it fits the standard roll bar.

Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 You could use a camera tripod bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kas Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 That's a good suggestion. Would it be easy to add the velcro hoops and locks so that it is secured to the roll bars? And are they wife e iigh as the hood rolled up still takes a lot of space. Or do you know if one that would fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I have one I bought for the full roof but never used it. Let me go look for it and will get you a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kas Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Thanks! That looks good but think I would need one that's a little wider as 10cm isnt wide enough once it's rolled up as I measured it to be around 14cm and don't want to risk damaging the plastic bar that attaches to top of windscreen. I'll check on Google and see if I can find one that's the same but a little wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan100 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I bought this one off eBay... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283693003189 Struggle to remember what length but they are all 20cm diameter. Fits my full hood in no issue. As for velcro straps...it comes with a long carry strap that you can unclip from each end. Can just run this around each side of rollbar.

Kas Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Thanks, Ive been googling and found other sizes with a diameter of 16cm but this 20cm one looks much better and it's a great price too! I think I'll order one of these as it looks perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kas Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 Thanks to Geoffrey and Morgan100 for your help with this I got the one suggested by Morgan100 from eBay for only £17.79 posted (100cm version) and it fits my folded hood perfectly!! It's wide enough that I don't risk breaking the plastic channel which is so fragile. Thanks again!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
