    Series III (Lightweight) Tilt Advice Requested

    I have a 1979 Series III lightweight (originally from Saudi Arabia) with a custom roll cage fitted with sand ramps either side.
    I'm looking for a really poor quality/condition canvas tilt to use as a template so I can get something custom made as I think the regular one will be a little small (just by looking). I'm located in MA + need a little more weather protection lol.
    If I can work out how to get a pic up here I'll let you see my predicament!
    I haven't connected with the local LR community - any advice or suggestions/alternate solutions will be much appreciated.
    (Planning on going to the Larz Anderson British car day this weekend)
    Thanks!

    There's an Austraiian military Land Rover 109 canvas top builder's diagram floating around the internet. Just use that as a basis for a soft top.

      On second thought...between your custom roll cage and it being an air-portable, that diagram might not be quite so helpful to you...

        Thanks - combing the web to look for the pattern to see if I can make any use of it.
        Will keep an eye on eBay just in case something used turns up.

          I took a cursory look for it yesterday, but stopped after a few minutes. I know I found it twice in the past, but it was difficult to find. Probably from the REMLR site or AULRO site.

          I know I downloaded it (twice), but I can't find it on this computer. Perhaps it is in my old computer.
