Barry's HJ Ute

[wbute]

Intersting read, what then was the tonneau option for HJ Sandman? Clips or hooks?

I prefer the look of the raised tonneau over the flat look, and the hooks are pretty easy to use, I've seen a few clip on tonneaus with tears round a clip or two in one corner too. Always made me grimace a bit undoing the clips on a friends EH when genuinely working (and say its raining) and unloading quickly. (Whats a tonneau for a mates car worth if you tear it?!! ouch)

Still re-drilling would be a potentially tricky job I imagine, (unless they are just bogged, then you could gently knock/abrade em out - working blind up inside the cavity - maybe??)

So perhaps a question is, was there a flat tonneau option on HJ Sandman? If so maybe its orig and there are no hook holes there anyway. Or if there was a nill tonneau option for HJ, maybe there was no tonneau originally and the clip on tonneau is after market, - if so thats easy, keep em as is, (or go back to orig and lose the tonneau).

Never a flat tonneau on HQ to WB as original. They were rope on ones.
As for which came standard with a cover Byron would know. HZ Sandman did though.
I thought they all had the tonneau hooks on them. I recall this already being discussed but I can't find the conversation on here.
Flat tonneau is like cutting the gutters off a van in my opinion. It's only my opinion though so use which ever you like but if you want original then lose the flat tonneau.

Here's the tonneau thread:

Did Belmont / Holden level have the hooks fitted as standard?
