Tonou covers
Hi all,
I'm looking for a tonou cover for my striker.
Anyone have recommendations for purpose made or where I can by the material and make one myself?
Thanks

Woolies sell all the stuff you'll need.

I bought double-duck fabric and Tenex fasteners. Then I taped a piece of curtain material over the cockpit and marked around the outline that I
wanted. Then I took that as a pattern to a local upholsterer and he made up a tonneau complete with centre zip. I added the fasteners after.

MK ( new raw owners) will probably sell you one, or use the suppliers mentioned and have a crack yourself, or I can make you one.
I use thick 500g clear plastic sheet as a template and Mark it up / cut with a Sharpie. Make it a tiny bit short on outside dims and let the material
stretch for a nice tight finish.
If it's a striker and you don't have doors then the sides might be tough to work out, but that's where the cheap plastic template
comes in.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
