geoffd Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I have a tonneau for my TR6. But, it doesn't seem to fit, so I'd welcome your advice .... It fits OK at the front, on the studs under the windscreen and the first press stud on the door. But then at the back, it's about 5 inches too short. I know it's supposed to be under tension, but I can't stretch it anywhere near enough. Also, none of the press studs line up except the one in the middle at the back. I've attached some photos which may explain what I mean. I'm wondering if the tonneau is actually for another TR, or even something else! I know this forum offers a wealth of knowledge, so maybe you can solve this one for me! Geoff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PILKIE Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 (edited) Hi Geoff If you can remove the headrests, try it again! also try fitting it from the back to the front! But as you say its its 5" too short!! Hang on>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ive just measured my new D/D tonneau recently bought from marko,its a perfect fit and its 1.55m [61"] front to back and 1.28m [50.5"] across the middle! Are you SURE your tonneau IS for a TR6? as ive been told the Spitfire one looks similar!! with or without headrests!!

RogerH Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi Geoff, your rear deck has the same number of popper studs as Daves tonneau cover. However your tonneau has less studs thus you have the wrong one. 5" is a lot so we must be talking of a smaller car. As Dave said the Spitfire may be the candidate.

geoffd Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Thanks for your replies. My tonneau is 1.38 m/54 inches long and 1.27 m/50 inches wide. So it's looking as if it isn't a TR6 tonneau. I'll pose the question on one of the Triumph sites which has a Spitfire section. Geoff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PILKIE Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Hi I found some spitfire ones on ebay and asked for sizes they came back with 139cmx127cm!! Looks like your is for a spittie! get back to the seller to complain if you are able,or stick it on ebay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geoffd Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Thanks Dave. A Spitfire expert confirmed the dimensions too - apparently it's for a late MK IV or 1500 Spit. I'll see what happens with EBay! Geoff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PILKIE Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Give Marko or TR Trader a call!! They may have some in stock!! I sold my original vynil one along with the hood bag at Malvern 08 for £70 to give you an idea of prices! Will keep an eye out for you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
