Re: ute tonneau cover
Alison,
I guess it depends if you want the original style of tarp or one with non original fasteners i.e. elastisied rope & hooks, flat style etc. Mine is push on stud type with concealed studs, at the Deni rodrun I met a guy who had a fibreglass hard tonneau cover colour matched to his FC ute it looked good (not my style) and obviously suited his needs plus the added bonus of being lockable.
If I was you after you decide on what you want ask some of the local restorers and hot rodders where they got their trim work done, you should be able to find a good needle man somewhere close to home.

Re: ute tonneau cover
That's cool Mick, I have some of the original type studs on the tray behind the back window so I thought I might get some more and fit it with an original type, especially as I have the original bar that goes across the middle
