Got the two new replica covers back last night from my retired canvas specialist neighbor. Very happy with the results as per the photos. He even made his own canvas piping for the covers. Had to make a slight concession on eyelet size and colour based on availability of materials but very close to original style of fabrication as shown on original on the right photo. Now just need some khaki lacing to close them up. He's using his contacts to find some for me.
Brgds,
