im looking for a leather tonneau cover for my pickup. does anybody know where i can get them either made or someone who produces them.

please let me know cheers

mini spares do them, dont think there leather though, for a leather one try an upholstery shop but youd need to give them the dimensions..

its just a piece off leather really aint it.

Pretty much but youd want the outside edge trimmed and stitched to stop fraying and also some proper collets of some kind put in any fixing holes to stop them tearing and to give a more secure fit.. the one mini spares does comes already done with the fixings for the body also, i've just ordered one for mine but probably wont arrive until next week sometime but i'll get a few pics and let you know how it goes with fitting etc if you want..

I have one from minispares, I don't like the fixing screws they sent. Couldn't really work out how to screw them in so I got some others from
Frost Minispares sent the dot fasteners but with like a self tapping screw, I tried to screw it in and it just threaded. I bought some more dot fasteners with the two holes for screwing in any self tappers and I got turnbuckles. I still haven't got round to fitting it with being busy at the weekends and it always being dark when I'm not in work and not decided whether to use the turnbuckle or dot fasteners.

hey buddy, i see what you mean about the fasteners, i think i'll order the turnbuckles also, just a quick question when you bought the turnbuckles from the place above did they come with the clinch plates and also the price on there site is that for a single unit or is it for a pack, bit pricey if its for a single one..

cheers
