Re: Half doors
I bought all my canvas from Worthings Canvasco in the UK, but they will ship if required.They also do the original style press fixings and body receivers.
I travel all the time with them on and find they are a godsend, cutting out the drafts around the waist - important consideration as I am a septuagenarian, and never use side-screens or doors for safety reasons.
Last year on my quest for the Wilkinson Sword Trophy I did 21 shows and covered 2192 miles, and have been driving Jeeps since 1968 in all conditions.

Re: Half doors
Hi Tadeo,
You will notice there are three levers on the floor - "Snowy" the glove puppet is keeping one hidden!
The additional one is for the Overdrive I fitted to a Hotchkiss transfer case as I also wanted the later drum parking brake and larger center bearing
I bought a piece of Buffalo Hide off e-Bay and made patterns with vinyl material, then Mary Worthing made them for me.They work perfectly and the O/D is a dream.
Cheers

Re: Half doors
Why donß´t you store them under the cushion of the rear seats? fits great
Half doors are great, even if it is a bit cold or wet outside, helps keeping warm air in the Jeep
