Hey all,
Whats the story with the number and address above? I was reading through one of the for sale threads where this number popped up and from what I gather he does Mohair hoods for mx-5s at a handy price which is what im looking for!!! I tried ringing him a few times this week with no joy If anybody has any bit of info on him could ya please let me know??!!??

Just another quick question incase that falls through, the I.l motorsorts mohair hood and glass window that is being sold on mx-5Parts, is it any good have ye fitted them and what are yer thoughts??

Cheers in advance

Regards Ollie

PM Reesy...I think he might have had his done there, or maybe I'm Wrong.

From One Ollie to Another!

Ollie,

Yeah, he supplied & fitted a new (vinyl, I think, not mohair anyway) hood at Easter. Went back in October to get it tidied up cos it had pulled a bit (quite my possibly my fault for forcing the hood down). Nice bloke. That is the same phone number that I rang him on in October, but I think the address is wrong - I went to him in Swansea. I've known him to be away for periods, so if you have a week or two to wait, try again then.

I'm in Stillorgan (h) & Tallaght (w) if you want to see the hood.

If you want more info, PM me.

Thanks lads thats great to know!!! just gotto keep trying so, im in no rush to get it fitted, my car wont be back on the road till about mid march so i have plenty time to reach him!!!

Is there anybody around Ireland ye could recommend for fitting a hood, last person at my hood made a balls of it, which would be one of a few reasons as to why im changing it!!!! What sort of money am i looking to pay?? Ball park figure!

Thanks again

Regards Ollie

Hi Ollie,
I contacted him recently re.fitting a new mohair roof. I intend driving my 5 over to him probably in March. He said £260 fitted. Ash has expressed interest in taking a run over also. My 5 is being resprayed at the moment so as soon as I get it back ill be making arrangments for the trip to Swansea. You are welcome to join me (us). This address is his house and the workshop is in Swansea near the docks.
All the best, Padraig

I', out for getting a roof of him as i picked up a cheap (very cheap) new vinyl one which will do the finest for now.

A couple of us have bought the mohair from him and self fitted. Have it a couple of years now and its wearing well.
Lots of guides on how-to on the 'net, think one of the forum members did one too.. there is "half" a guide here :

After speaking to a few ppl i think im going to try fit it myself with a mate of course!!! Does anybody have pictures of hoods they bought off this man??? The mohair version preferably just to have a rough idea of the results and finish.

Thanks again everyone
