Re: Amortek Canopy
Hi John
I spoke with Gill a year or two ago about the canopy and was told that they were made by a lady locally who no longer makes them.
I did do quite a lot of research on the internet and a few specialist books from Russell of Barbarossa books but sadly I did not come up with much that would help making a DIY canopy or the frame for that matter .
There must be information out there just not found it yet.
There were some not bad photos I saw on one or two build blogs/gallery but that was on the old photo gallery not sure if they are on the new one.
Colin Fairweather rings a bell it may be worth contacting him I’m sure he has made one.
Please let me know how you get on.
Good luck and all the best mate.

Jeff Goff made his own canopy for his halftrack.
If you search for "canopy" in this section you'll find a few posts, including one from Tim showing a few war time pictures.

Re: Amortek Canopy
Thanks for the feedback, I have ordered a canopy from amortek and have received the frame and I'm just waiting for the canopy itself. I just wanted to know if someone had one of these rarities or a picture. l would like to think the detail will be great, tailored with small stitching, good edging and a small rear window flap.
