Just wondering where some of you vintage guys went to, to get custom covers for yours? How much did it cost?

Cheers!

Having said that, they seem to have some sort of Christmas offer of 7.5% off (promotional code MerryXmas), which would knock it down to just under £51.

TBH, I'd have preferred something a bit more padded, but it'll do the job. It's really well made. It adds a noticeable weight to the cab too!

Oh, and it might be a good idea to check with them on the position of the side handles. There was a 1 cm difference between the position of my handles and the position they had on file from the first Vintage cover they made (Merton's, I believe), which could have been really annoying if I hadn't checked. And I'm pretty sure Alex has moved the handles now he's using the new, lighter ply, because the balance point's shifted. Or something like that.

Yep. My cover is out by about 0.3cm coz of my dicky measurement, but clearly BottomEndian's handles were in a slightly different position and the new lighter ply cabs have changed again! So remeasure yourself.

Very happy with the cover though :)
