<div dir="ltr"><div>I bought both my tonneau cover and top from Les at CDM, both in canvas. The tonneau was bought quite a while ago and I think was ready to use except for the headrest pockets, and inserting the metal bar. When I've used it I just lay the headrests in the package tray. I had the top professionally installed and that cost around $375, IIRC, not a lot less than the top itself. If I had it to do again, I'd still have it done. I'd think putting the fittings in the tonneau would be more of a DIY project.</div><div><br></div><div>FWIW,</div><div>Ron</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 10, 2015 at 9:09 AM, John Stromgren via Datsun-roadsters <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net" target="_blank">datsun-roadsters@autox.team.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>I got one for my 1970 2000 from M & T Manufacturing<br><br>M & T Manufacturing Support<br>

It was a rather tedious process, as I had to fit the rear bar in place and then decide on where the other pieces would go one at a time, marking the spot with chalk, and then removing the whole cover each time to a workspace on the floor where I could do the punching. The headrest pockets, in my case, made the refitting process quicker. As I added fastenings, it became easier to spread and pull the rest of the cover until I had a pretty good fit.<br><br></div><div>I'm very happy with it, and they were fine folks to work with.<br><br></div><div>Best of luck!<br><br></div><div>John<br></div><div>SRL311-14061<br></div><div>Portsmouth, NH<br></div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Aug 8, 2015 at 2:00 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:datsun-roadsters-request@autox.team.net" target="_blank">datsun-roadsters-request@autox.team.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid">Send Datsun-roadsters mailing list submissions to<br>

My 1963 SPL 310, single carb. 1500, low seat back needs a new tonneau<br>
cover. Does anyone have a suggest where a good quality, good fitting cover<br>
can be purchased?<br>
