My follow up appeared as a new post i think? Did it get seen here? Payson.

Thanks!! @rlm_mcv and ww_big_al: Great suggestion and I may try to make a cover if the search for an original cover doesn't work out. I'm a restorer and don't mind the hunt for orignal parts. @Roger

I’d like to buy that...but I can’t afford it ...especially as I would have to pay for shipping to the UK as well ...so I have down loaded the pics of it and I’ll have a go at making one out of
