Best Material for Winter Cab Cover for ARGO

[rodp]

This whole idea here has me thinking....First either learn to sew and get a commercial machine or be prepared to work very closely with a tent/awning/boat top maker...

I'm thinking of a top for Muscateer too, and my friend has some INSULATED tarps, for working on buildings and such, they are a fire rated product so should be safe. I'm thinking of getting one or two from him and making a frame up of light thin walled tube..something I can take on and off machine simply.

Then work at attaching with snaps or something and maybe a wire framed door and golf cart windshield...

Just my usual off the wall approach to problems...

If you're going to do your own you'll need either a walking foot machine or a compound feed machine. Either will have to be capable of running No 12 polycotton thread. Over here they fetch around a £1000 second hand. For door frames we use 1/4" round bar when we make doors for the off road racers etc.

Fortunately for me...I've a friend who sews commercially and makes military spec gear and can sew most anything I need....

Thanks for the tip though I'm sure others can learn from that information.
