Convertible roofs, any recommendations for someone to recover?

Who are people using for restoration of roofs on CJ/CTIs?

 

I have lined up my local re-upholsterer but I get the feeling he's not too keen to do the job.

There is a guy Arie plonk from the Netherlands (on instagram and facebook) who has re-manufactured the hood spanners and the rear centre bar, with regards to the hood itself I got a mohair hood from BAS and then had a local trimmer fit it all.

 

I opted for the stainless steel hood spanners so would never rot, the hood itself was ok but have never bought one previously so cant really compare it to anything else.

 

Whilst i am pleased with it all, the hood at the bottom by the rear boot sits a little high for my liking, I am not sure if this is down to poor fitment from the trimmer, the hood being fractionally too short or the hood spanners being slightly out.

@sp_en_ny yeah I already have all the bits, I have lined up someone local too but I figured there might be a specialist that is worth the travel to get the job done right!
