Hi Guys
I'm in the process of fitting the tonneau to my spitty - very nice it looks too! However, I need to find a tool to fit the eyelets which hook the tonneau
to the dashtop. I have looked on the Rimmers site, but cant justify spending £28 ish on a tool that i'm gonna use for about 5 minutes. Does
anyone have one of these that they're willing to lend me for a small fee, or know where I can get one cheaper?
Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil,
most high street haberdashery/sewing shops should sell eyelet kits for a couple of pounds. Failing that try your friendly local upholsterer or coach
trimmer. You can take the tonneau to them, so they should be able to oblige while you wait!

Look on www.ebay.co.uk, item number 8784773748, and you will find what you need for little money. I am sure, the eyelets offered (you need the
9.53mm ones) are the right ones for TR tonneau covers, and you'll save yourself a bundle. Good Luck!
