IainM Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I acquired a tonneau cover for my six to replace my old torn one, but it doesn't fit around the door front/ steering wheel/ dash area. It also only has a single door-mounted stud, and press stud fittings at the front, not holes for pegs. See photos, including one with it laid over my old cover for comparison. The press studs at the rear match the deck pattern, but that's about it- it is too short. Is this meant for another car type (if so, which?) or is it just a bad one? Anyone any ideas please?

Tony_C Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi Iain, Welcome, the ‘experts’ will doubtless be along soon... In the meantime..... Spitfire? (Looks like it could be made to fit if you modify ‘adjustable steering.... as on, the better made, earlier cars?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IainM Posted November 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks for the suggestion Tony- as far as I can tell Spits have pegs on the dash not studs, and I thought they had narrower cabins but I'm not 100% sure as I understand the windscreen is the same. My sister has a spit so I could always check next time I visit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 Yep Iain, certainly some of the Spits shared the TR4 windscreen....... I’m not sure about the where’s and when’s of pegs and studs; didn’t Triumph tend to use whatever was the cheapest parts bin at the time? - ducks for cover! Well done your sister ....

Tony_C Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 If you look at my frame cover here (red car) you might spot it is modified from a later Spitfire ?.......... Much better than the original (ref scruffy green car also in shot) ........... .......and I got a particularly good deal many years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
