Hoods

Just a questions about soft tops. Do they vary wildly in quality? I am looking at the Exmoor trim ones but have seen from other places, such as All Wheel Trim and Famous Four, which are cheaper. But are they price cheaper or just cheaper? Any experiences?

Does anyone have any advice about getting standard canvas or the PVC ones?

Does a lightweight take a standard 88" hood?

Finally, and most importantly, anyone have pictures of a sand hood? I haven't decided on what colour she's going to be so I want a smart but neutral hood. That leaves out the Khaki and olive green (I also don't really want to follow the army styling) and out of the Black and Sand I like the idea of Sand. But you don't really see them around much.

It's not quite the same. I understand the chief difference is the vertical positioning of the side hooks on the read body, to which the bottom of the hood is anchored.

(Checks)

Lightweight hooks are just under 2.5 inches below the top of the rear tub (that's the top of the actual tub. Hood sticks seem to peak at 28 inches above that line, but I'm not sure where the seam in the hood would be.

Now, can somebody give the standard measurements?
