I'd call Lee at A&J Canvas Inc in Vanceboro NC, not NJ. They made a new enclosure for my 282 this offseason. Others will suggest the same.

Google them, number comes right up.

Thank you very much for that reply. After reading forms I have learned that that is the thing to do, but I don’t have the original frames and I am wondering if they can make them or if they are included. do you have that information? I already have a call into them and I am waiting for their response. Thanks again, Mike

I sent them my old canvas enclosure as a pattern, it had shrunk severely in some areas so I did take measurements myself and sent to them, over-communicate would be my suggestion. For the most it fits like a glove with the exception of one spot on the rear curtain where I needed to make a minor adjustment, I'm the only person who will ever notice. They send without snaps installed so you'll do them yourself. On mine the windshield track snaps needed replaced so I ordered a bag of them off of amazon. They'll probably only send you the screw in style and the ones that are riveted onto the canvas. I bought the tool from Sailrite, it was worth it's weight in gold.

Including shipping to MD and everything, it was right around 3100. Strataglass and the Ivory Stamoid. I think they are more than fair for the quality of the final product. What i have now is nicer than what i had before, not just in the materials but in the workmanship.
