Hi Antonio, sorry I dont have a photo of the original canvas it belongs to M8M20 we just used it to copy from.

We can supply any canvas item for most WW2 US military vehicles from Jeeps to tanks etc. I will email lists and photos to you.

Here are the photos of the second style of M20 ring cover.

Please note this may not be an original WW2 design but we have had customers ask us to make a lower cover so this is what we came up with.

It can be fitted and removed without removing the .50 Cal there is a zip to gain access to the ring mount.

There is a canvas sleeve sewn into the ring cover to fit a metal bar in to keep the middle of the canvas up.

Hi Antonio, I am glad you are happy with your new M20 canvas cover. Yes the smell of the canvas is rather strong and its worse on a warm sunny day which in Italy you probably get more of than us in the UK.

You should put a piece of our canvas under your pillow at night, its better than viagra LOL

Let me know when you want to order more canvas items

Best regards jim.

This might be cliche for the forum, but whoever comes up with 'Canvas Cologne' will make a mint!

I'd put it all over the house.

(Then I'd have to find a new wife!)

Hi,
I am writing a book on the M8 and M20.
When I did a Google search for M8 canvas, the photos of the covers you make for both vehicles popped up.
I was wondering whether it would be ok for me to use them in my book?
I would, of course, be happy to credit you in the photo captions.

Also I don’t suppose you would happen to know what the ‘D’ number is for the M8 turret canvas and the M20 cover?

Kind regards

Hi Jim,

I would like a set of front seat cushions and the M8 canvas cover. I sent you an email about the cushions but no reply. How do I order and pay for these items and approximate turn around time?

I don't know but for practicality something waterproof is a good idea since besides sitting on them it is hard to avoid standing on them with your muddy boots.

Are any of your covers still for sale?

I need front covers for the M8 & M20. Also need a turret cover for the M8. Do you have a canvas cover for the M8 50 cal?

Thanks
Matt
