where can i buy a tonneau cover, with centre zip, for my book locost (not haynes roadster)?

car is only used on track: the passenger side should be completly closed, driver side will get a half door

tried several times contacting softbits...but never received a reply.

now i have seen they have a new web-shop... but nowhere locost is mentioned.....

are there alternative shops besides softbits?

Local seat / boat trimmers. Just had mine done.

Softbits will make you a bespoke one for Ģ450 if you like, mine cost Ģ250 from local place.

Where abouts are you ?

Inflex interiors near Oxford are making mine now, the guy even come out to measure up and do the first fit, I'm just waiting for the call to tell me its ready for collection

tonneau for 450,-pound???

softbits is asking 135,-pound for a westfield and 95,-pound for Caterham Tonneau to Half Doors --> such prices are ok..


iīm outside UK......by the way...

Yes. If it's bespoke they charge silly money

I've just made one for my car. It cost Ģ65 and all the material, press studs, cotton and zip came from a local marine trimmers.
I spent hours making a pattern, marking up and cutting out and my mum sewed it together.
I do need to add an Ali strip down the centre to stiffen the cover up when I only use half.

are you sure that they never have made a locost tonneau? there are so many locostīs on Uk roads...canīt believe that.

as iīm outside Uk it doesnt make sense bringing the car to them....

a book locost is, imo, always the same, the slight differncies can be compensated by the position of the fixings which you have to drill on your car anyway.

if we speak about pockets for headrests or steering wheel...thats a different story..those tonneaus need to be fabricated individualy.

in my case its a flat piece with a centre zip which finally, in praxis, needs to cover the passenger area, only.

EVERY book locost is different, having seen 100's not one of them is the same as the next (thankfully)
and I will bet, that my home made tonnea, would not fit any one elses locost
