Chummy Hood Bag

[Tony Griffiths]

One way of stopping the hood bag from inflating (and keeping it tight) is to run two small straps down to lift-the-dot or similar fastenings screwed into the wooden underside of the rear sear. The perfect-fit hood and hood bag on the AD were both homemade by David Wortley using a roll of fabric stolen by his uncle who worked on the skinning of WW2 Wellington bombers (or something like that, I believe). If they help, the first three pictures show my AD as bought - and the last picture one of the pair of securing straps. The other photographs show the much bulkier hood bag on my AF and how it's secured to the floor with two straps, each held with a small turnbuckle.
