Taken in all the advice, preferences and comments 
hour to spare this aft. after night shift then shopping, had a good look at the innerside of the hood and made a start..... 
ignore first bit of grey felting and looked like this:-
decided to cover frame crossbars and the webbing lengths as separate items and so this is stage 1 done:-
as 'she who must be obeyed and Tommy the Cooper' allow
will complete major panels and post results.

Grabbed an hour to myself this afternoon and recovered the major panels as shown:-
Now got to decide on the front lip of hood, tending towards recover as rest and maybe spray up the hood catches in silvery grey ? Later gonna tackle the fiddley recover around the rear window

It reminds me of the feeling of roominess that comes with a hardtop roof fitted. Only with all the benefits of a roof that folds down. Good shout.
I'm surprised that it's not been done sooner. Or, has it?

Some great results. This thread needs to be put in to the How To A to Z index.

How would that adhesive felt go on the hardtop lining??
It would not be wide enough but if you got the seams straight would it be ok ??

I don't know what the surface of the hardtop lining is made of. The felt needs a good surface to adhere to. it seems to stick to the under fabric of the hood well, but I don't think it would work too well on anything with a pile on it.
