JohnEDixon Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Is there anyone in this great club prepared to lend me a Lift-the-Dot punch for the duration of fitting my tonneau. I thought about buying one from Moss but saw the price and needed a defibrillator thereafter. I’m in the London Group and happy to collect. Or posting is an option if the lockdown proves to be an obstacle. Reimbursement of costs a given. I’m sure we can come to some arrangement concerning compensation. In the same vein I have road spring AND valve spring compressors (used once) if anyone requires these on loan. These too are an expensive tool to use once . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 This is cheaper and will do the trick for at least one Tonneaus worth. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lift-the-Dot-fasteners-stud-socket-2ba-threaded-fastener-boat-canopy-cover-tool/191710160972?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=490737255635&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Stuart.

Ian Vincent Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Just now, Tony_C said: Plus a stanley knife or a 3/16" chisel. Locate the fastener and press on it hard so that it leaves four small point marks in the PVC, then use the chisel with a piece of wood underneath. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
