I sent my old cover to another member here who is having one made, perhaps he will chime in when it's finished. When he is done the old cover can be shipped to some one else if needed.
I need to secure the material first. There is a State Prison near by and they do this sort of work, I am going to take mine there and see if they can do it for me. No time frame as of yet.
The cover is roughly 8x9, one end is marked "front", I can't really tell the difference between ends. The center section is square/rectangle but the ends have a unique shape with lots of turn fastener grommets for the end curtains. The end curtains are the same so I am not sure why the "front"...
Steel tubing, according to my caliper 3/32 wall thickness, 1 1/16 outside diameter. As per your drawing there are no mounting tabs, the last 24" or so of the tubing is flattened out to fit in the carrier slots. I can trace one out and send you the tracing if you like.
Bows are an issue, they do seem hard to find and are expensive to ship. I shipped a single bow to TX which is smaller than the cargo bows and it was $75. I have a set for mine and they are simply a tube with flat ends, a company with a tubing bender could crank them out easily.
I am in need of a cover but price will determine if I can buy one. I have an old one I was going to have one made from but may wait now. Thanks for looking into this.
