Nos WKSP trailer canvas
« on: September 07, 2014, 07:41:20 PM »
Are these any sources for NOS canvas?
And what would I expect to pay for a workshop trailer canvas cover?

Sorry you're out of luck, you could get one made from a local canvas shop as you have the old one for a template but ( advice with a little bit of knowledge) you'd be paying thousands not hundreds, I'd take a stab at a complete one with all walls etc close to $4,000 retail.

you could make a cover just for the trailer without the extensions up or out, it'd look the part but probably still $1,000. Someone on here did that, maybe Juddy on his workshop (the tray on the Land Rover workshop vehicle and workshop trailer are identical)

hope that helps

cheers

I think that the place doing the perentie canopies might be able to do them as well, but again it would be over $1k to get one done.

Ryan,

the best place to go would most likely be Wyatts in Geelong (not too far from you), they do some Defence work now but did heaps in the past, you never know you're luck maybe they did workshops in the past and have the patterns
