Dave,
    
We  specialize in restoring Hoosiers a few years back,and I cant tell you how 
many times i had to re canvise the tambour.what a job.we were doing it for other 
dealers for a wile they just did ,t want to tackle it.but If I remember right you can 
now bye the tambours already made up,you just send them the measurements, 
the price was not that bad.I will go through my old catalogs and see what I can 
come up with,I don't know about you but our time is to valuable to do up tambours.
but who knows I guess some guys can get pretty fast on them If you do up a lot 
of hoosiers.  

Bill Lucas.
