Tim Essex Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Does anyone know whether I can get a tonneau that will fit my wide body with a boot? All the ones I've seen aren't deep enough to attach at the rear. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Not sure what you mean? Are you saying you have traditional style bodywork and the (optional) locking boot box lid, and you want a tonneau that will go over the top of it as well? If so, I don't think such a thing exists, unless anyone has had one made as a one-off. Or or do you mean you have FW bodywork, with the new style rear? If all you want is a tonneau cover for the passenger compartment, it's probably easier just to get one made. You'll be surprised at how reasonable a lot of the local trimmers are. I know people that have had various custom ton days made for their cars, and the price hasn't been that different to the one size fits all factory options. In fact, in at least one case, it was cheaper! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ooh forgot to mention, boot areas aside, the factory does a different version of tonneau depending if you have a windscreen or aeroscreened, they're also different if you have a standard roll bar or an RAC bar with extra cut outs for the back stays, and the seat back pockets fit standard Sport Seats, but would need changing for Sport Turbo or JK's or Westfield Race Seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I have a tonneau that goes over my locking boot box. Bought it from the factory. 16 years ago though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Essex Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks Dave and Stuart for responding. Stuart - I have virtually the same set up as you so will check out the factory. Will also price up getting one made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
