NOS Tonneau Cover

[stickthis]

I have been thinking about this one for a while. Finding an original and doing a repro.....

Was going to start by looking at the HZ sandman ute in the Museum thats only done 63,000km. Then try to find one the same for a sample.

If anyone can help let me know. I have a mate here in Aus that is a tarp maker that I have been chatting to about doing them.

Mine is original and would lend it. I assume wb woud be the same as earlier?

Ok that would be great. I will do some research on the WB/HQ/HZ etc. See if the part numbers are the same etc etc.

I dont have a WB parts book so if someone else does and can let me know the number that would be great!!

I looked at a tonneau from a parts shop recently, the material looked nothing like the one I originally had on my ute back in the early 80's and i would be very reluctant to buy it.. (Don't know if it was an original cover either) but the cover loooked thicker and had heavier backing. I immediately thought that when the time came I would look to get one made out of something a little heavier.

the original WB ones that i have seen have had a tartan material on the inside..

I noticed an original WB (aside from black rope ) with an additional seem in front of the centre :Chin:WBU.JPG

Theres one, if anyone gets it let me know how it fits. I want a tonneau with the straps like that(how the go straight down to the hook) and not like the ones that make the V shape leading down to the hook .
