Would anyone know if the elastic loops on the rear side canvas that hook over the side panels are seperate loops or one continuous
inter woven length from left to right.

Re: elastic straps
Sorry Dave, Can't help with answering this as Lurch does not have a rear cover - looking at the picture you provided, I would say it was one long length as I am sure you can see the elastic strap line between the bottom sets of holes. But that might just be the way the canvas has ridged.

Re: elastic straps
I don't have access to my 1972 civilian LWB canvas at the moment, but some photos I have shows that the loops at the bottom of the rear flap are individual (ie not one long length) - first two photos - and from the outside of the side panels (third photo) the loops look sufficiently regular that I would imagine that they too are individual.

Re: elastic straps
Thank you, I have the 8mm elastic strap and I was going to make some crimps for it, but I did not know how many I would need.

Re: elastic straps
I had nothing to do at work over the weekend, so I made a few things for the Haflinger.
The rings are for the elastic straps, I will crimp them to the straps when I eventually have the canvas cover made.
They are made fron light weight aluminium tube and cut to lenght with tube cutters.
