Thanks Ram-Bro,
I got one from them but it is too big. I think it must be a 60 size, but they don't say.
But thanks for your help.

Just noticed you are in NZ, that's A far piece from the USA. Any idea what the shipping cost would be on something small like that, I'm sure it would be well over twice the cost of the canopy itself. Just wondering.[&:]

Hi Gray Beard.
you got that right. the freight out of the USA is horendous.But thats the price we pay.
I once had to return a product to the States, and it was 1/3 the price exactly. NZ $24.00 from USA---NZ $8.00 to return it.
We enjoy the hobby so much, thats the way it go's.
Regards,
