Tonneau Cover for a Jago, anyone?
Discussion
Hi All
I've booked my Fury in this Saturday to have a tonneau made. The guy is based just north of Oxford and he has made similar for me before. He's going to use black Everflex, with a centre zip and velcro around the roll bar.
I've also arranged for him to copy the tonneau on my geep as it is now six years old and lives outside. Also I ripped it slightly a few weeks ago. I will ask him to improve the design a little with extra width velcro to allow for some shrinkage.
It occurs to me that if, when he's completed mine, he were to make another and leave it with the holes punched for the fittings, that would be a cheap way of getting a custom made cover.
I have a standard 1980's geep with windscreen, standard grp dash, rear braced rollbar, low back seats and no sidescreens. The steering wheel is small enough not to need a pocket.
I'm guessing there'll be change out of £100 so is anyone up for it??? I guess I could get one done anyway and hawk it round the shows or keep it as a spare...
There's also a chance of a quick repair to my existing one but it is rather tatty in several places.
If you've not seen my car at any shows (shame on you) I can email pics.
Sounds like just the job for you Jamie although if you have high back seats, (aren't they from a Metro???) they'd need pockets.
Regards
Ian

I would be very interested in one Ian, but as you say my seats are high back (from MG) so it would have to have pockets sewn in which im sure he would need my jeep to do. Unless... do you think if i tilted my seats forward, as they have handle to flip them all the way forward, the cover would then stretch over them? Ill have to measure up by eye tomorrow.
The Fury tonneau took longer than expected so I had the guy repair the geep one quickly instead of having him make a complete copy. Neither did he have any vinyl in stock. He did the Fury one in Everflex. It's nice but too textured to leave uncovered permanently. I will call him in a few weeks to see if he's got any vinyl in by then and if not, I'll get some at the Newark Show in June (hopefully camping overnight) and have him copy the jeep one in that.
Cheers
