RE: Tonneau cover fixings

You will almost certainly need a custom made job to fit the shape of your cockpit and the location of the rollover hoops.

A good trimmer would be able to produce the tonneau cover and fit the fastners for you to ensure a smooth tight fit.

I had mine made earlier this year for £260 which, for a piece of plastic sheet (vinyl) seemed expensive until you consider the time taken and the specialised knowledge.

Dave this may help you, Tonneau Cover made for me buy MD Mand in Linc's. Made a paper template for them to work off, then they made it up in heavy cardinal black (Double Duck)to match the hood which fits on the same studs not the easiest of shapes either Eric.

Normal fixings Charlie, Tenex & Lift Dots, most Cobras are done that way. There was a post a while ago re GD I think with there new type hood/hard top, but as I understood it you had to have a permanent fixing on the rear. Perhaps some one else could give you more detail on that score.

I have a few more studs than most, but that's why I can use it in the rain and wet @100+ with no ill effects except for my undies! The hood is 93% water-tight, also both units fit well, no sag unlike the rest of my body. You will notice the side screens are the zip type so extra studs required Eric:tu

Paul you are such a PR~TT!!!!!{-} I got a upper flux capacitor with colour dust added complete with BY127 diode together with a PL 380 valve too stop the frame roll, converted it to water readings & stuck it up my rear end, and that came out was only 7% of the total input, does this answer your question!!??
