Just had my new Tonneau fitted, it was made to measure by Soft Bits for Sevens.
All I can say is that their service is excellent and the cover is superb quality.
If anyones interested it cost £250, not cheap but you get what you pay for and this is top notch.

Nice one - am I correct is assuming it can be driven with the passenger side left on? Also the design must be bespoke as some seats i.e. ours, are
adjustable so would not fit into the headrest section.

Very neat, Rich!
Yeah, you can remove just the drivers section and leave the passenger bit on (centre zip).
It is bespoke as I have the cage and seats right back, to be honest I would think if you want it perfect it's best to get it made to measure,
certainly worth the effort in my view.

It didn't actually take long at all, couple of trips to there workshop and he popped round to me once it was done to fit exactly.
£250 is a cheap price to pay rather than trying to put a bl**dy cover on it when on the trailer and the damn thing keeps blowing off on the road!!!
I have the same from Soft Bits except they put a half door zip in the tonneau and strengthening in below the zip. Cuts right down on buffeting and I
have a very much reduced gravel collection in the car now
That's awesome - I'm definately gonna get me one of those.
Pat...
That looks very nice, been pondering something similar myself.
I presume you have a removable steering wheel?
My steering wheel is removeable, but they will just put a pocket in it similar to the seat pockets if yours isn't removeable.
Do you have a pic with the drivers side off?
Pat...
also do you have a photo of the finishing of the edges and corners. Thanks

Basically you can have what you want!!!
Half doors, zipped doors, no centre zip, luggage holder for boot, full wet weather.
Best thing would be to call them and discuss.
Will get a coupld more pics tonight.
Rich.
I made some basic half doors to test how high to have the side, i found that at high speeds the top blowed in even with cord folded into the top, the
air is trying to get in just behind the scuttle, tomorrow i am going to try to make an aluminium half door covered in leather! this way i can make as
much of a elbow space as i need and they won't fold 
Quality job rich 
I've seen a few softbitsforsevens covers and hoods and the quality of the work is second to none, also very nice people too.
I might stop drinking ale for a bit and save the tokens

The half door zip is a bloody good idea for ultimate flexibility. Did they fit elbow bulges as well? I assume you can have only half doors fitted, half doors plus passenger side only and also full tonneau. Considering how much the seperates would cost id imagine this solution is quite cost effective.
Ive just looked for a pic in your archive, but super slow broadband means they are taking a while to load up. Is there one there?
Unfortunately i think SBF7's are a bit far out of my way to get measured up.
