712AMB Cab cover
Posted: Sun Aug 18, 2019 7:06 am
Good day to everyone...…..okay...…..here is my situation....I would like to replace the cover for the cab on my 712AMB. It is an Austrian vehicle so the front part of the cover is held to the windshield frame by a captive track rather than the belt and loop fasteners on the Swiss version.
The Swiss versions of the cover are available at multiple sources. Does anyone here know of anyone that has a new cover for the Austrian model? Once again this is an ambulance so only the front cab cover is required.
A few more questions...……..does anyone here know if Tuff River Stuff is making covers for the Pinzgauer anymore? I'm good with wait time. Heck I'm even good with paying a premium. Don't want to bother them with a request though if it is a futile situation. Additionally because this is the Austrian version and every photo I've ever seen of a Tuff River Stuff cover is the Swiss version not sure they would want the job even if they are still making the things.
There are a few more options I suppose I could explore...…..
1) I could make my own cover.....there is a link I ran across a while back to a DIY canvas top who sourced their materials from Mauritzon based out of Chicago. Anybody here ever done this?
2) I could see about refitting my windshield frame to the Swiss version. I'm sure it is possible without too much butchery but would rather stick with what I got. Has anyone here ever made this modification?
Any feedback on the topic here is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
