Does anyone know where i might get a pickup tonneau or tilt cover, looked at all mini suppliers and ebay and cant find any

Did you check Somerford Minis?

I could only find the frame for it, but I'm sure a local upholsters could make you a fabric skin to cover it?

[mini-me91]

I saw the frame but sadly they don't supply a canvas, i won't need the cover for a while anyway so i have plenty of time. I saw on another forum that someone was going to get a few made to sell but i'm sure that idea never happened due to the cost of having them made. I will have to do that would have been easier to buy one already done though

you're looking at around the £300 mark when one pops up on ebay, no suppliers of tilt covers unfortunately

[mini-me91]

Cant find one anywhere, i didn't realise they were so expensive there must be a high demand for them to push the prices up that high

[mini-me91]

Can anyone give me some rough dimensions? Im going to ask a friend if he can make me one, but i don't have the frame or one to copy from, also do they attach to the frame or just the body?

[Miniowner123]

Give me a day or two and I'll get you a pic and some dimensions its currently stored upstairs with the frame as I've never used it (yet)

Oh and to answer your question it connects to the body along the sides with turnbuckles, all clear where they go when you see one

[mini-me91]

Ok thank you

[Miniowner123]

some pictures and dimensions for you, if anythings not clear just ask

front, wire tensioner

[mini-me91]

Those pictures are perfect, thank you can't thank you enough

[Miniowner123]

just pass it on when another member needs help

[podifold]

There's a thread over at minipickup.org that has some more dimensions: http://www.minipicku...&p=20501#p20501

Hope you don't mind but I've posted your pictures there too.

[Miniowner123]

yeah thats fine, more people they can help the better i know how hard and frustrating it is to find a good tilt cover

[miniman86]

Sorry to drag up an old thread...

Trying to get the full tilt cover on my pup, but can't seem to stretch the vynil enough to even get close to the fixings on the sides? Done the tensioner cable fine, but the rest is nowhere near! Around 2-3 inches away from each fastener. Any ideas on how to get the elasticity back into the vynil?
