RL Saloon Roof Cover

Back in 1976, following the instructions in " Grey Mag" 1976B, I recovered the roof of my RL in " Monza" vinyl as supplied by Nairn Coated Products of Lancaster.The top still looks prestine today. I am now in the process of repeating the job on a RM Saloon. Sadly,Nairn Coated Products are no longer trading. Can anyone suggest a suitable alternative supplier of similar quality material. I am reluctant to use "standard" quality vinyl, as I am informed it may not be waterproof. Any advice gratefully accepted.

Google "marine fabric" suppliers or go to a sailmaker/tarpaulin maker/heavy duty upholsterer if you have one nearby.
It is inportant to check there is some "give" in the material, so you will need samples.

I used Everflex and it looks as good as new 17 years later.
