Harold-I saw that photo on the web...typed in "Longbridge Healey"-they
have a site. Yes, difficult to see but they look to be Tenax all
around except at the door- turnbutton as typical with early Healeys.
Most hot rod upholsterers use American type or boating fasteners and
replace the expensive Tenax items. There is a real difference between
the Longbridge vs the Abingdon cockpit. Check with Heritage Upholstery
(Geoff Chrysler) for the correct fastener fitment. He can identify the
cover. Hank

 Henry, 
 It is hard to see the type of fasteners around the perimeter in the
picture. Are they Lift-The-Dot or Tenax?

 Looks exactly like the one on my BN4 (although my steering wheel is
on the right side (wink)

SUBJECT: [Healeys] Mystery Tonneau Cover     I need help identifying
the mystery tonneau that came with my Mk1 BT7. It looks like it should
fit a BT7 but it doesn't. It is not quite wide enough and where there
should be a Tenax fastener there is a Lift-The-Dot fastener. Aslo
where the tonneau would attach to the dash there are two Lift-The-Dots
instead of one Tenax.      Could this be for a BN1 or BN2? What other
cars could it be for?        Thanks... Harold
