Default Hood Modification

Guys I am after a bit of help with trying to find a company within about 50 miles of Oxford who could possibly modify my hood and tonneau cover.

It came with the car when I bought it but obviously it was never fitted. I started to fit it then found that my windscreen pillars are not fitted in the normal position and the covers are not quite standard.
Therefore, Terry at Marlin was going to get the hood modified to fit the car with me dropping the car at their place.

All very simple you would think. Her projected time scale was 3/4 weeks which would have been towards the end of May. That came and went and after me making an enquiry at the end of this week, Terry just says they have been busy and could fit it in now. She was going to send me directions to their place via email so I could take it down yesterday.

Guess what, as usual she did nothing.

So totally pi**ed off with her and her company.

So does any of you guys know of a company that could modify an existing hood to make it fit please ?

Why would anyone want to deal with Marlin ?

Dennis,

There is a company in Witney - http://www.allwheeltrim.co.uk/index.html#index

My dad used these to make the tonneau cover for his Sportster some 6/7 years ago.
