AUS Tonneau Fitting

Anybody know a shop near Austin that can fit a factory tonneau on a Morgan? I have the mohair fitted cover for the vehicle and the hardware ("Lift a Dot"). Just need a shop that knows how to insert the pins into the bodywork around the cockpit and attach the receiving "dots" to the fabric cover.
(back East, Wil De Groot did this for me on a pre-war car, had the tonneau made by a third party and installed it as part of the restoration of the car).
TIA,
Bill Hart

 

Ahhh my super 3 had a red mohair cover... Morgan's are awesome.

Good luck finding someone - what Morgan do you have?

 

Check with Classic Jaguar (may now be Team CJ)

 

Thanks,

Thanks, put a call into them earlier this morning. More as it happens.

Paint protection-film plus ceramic coating, done. Beeline Moto II being installed, along with soft Malle panniers- just waiting for more accessory rails. Also found a vintage Smiths clock and stopwatch, black face, and a few other odds and ends that will get installed. In Texas, I don't need heated seats. This vehicle was weirdly optioned- had the full monte on lights, but the other stuff, nada. So, I'm doing some of this after the fact, which is a PITA.

 

I loved mine. Sadly some asshat rear ended me at a stop light in a Silverado. Turns out the tub is reinforced on the inside for crash protection (I was absolutely ok) but once the tub is bent.... It's done.

Sorry to hear that. My wife has raised the issue of visibility in traffic especially since everybody is driving big-assed trucks. Glad you are OK.

 

In retrospect I would have installed one of those blinking LED brake lights... we're just hard to see down low. In Houston, so I was also staring up at Tahoe's half the time. I had a shift knob from "built by basil" - highly recommend. Also I replaced the silencer out of the exhaust (the one under the passenger seat) with non silenced pipe. That's the same config as the Morgan "sport exhaust" sounds awesome and doesn't cook the passenger.

 

If CJ doesn't work out, call David Moore at Moorspeed

 

thanks.

 

I found these usb powered bike lights that show braking-- I'm going to try them attached high in the inside rails of the "roll bars"- no additional wiring and they show brake lights even without running the "tail light" function during the day. I got some silicon rubber strap extenders just in case the roll bar diameter is too big for the normal bike post mounting strap. We'll see if they work well. Apparently, aluminum alloy in black, waterproof. RockBros. If they look too cheesy, or don't work properly, I'll find something better.

 

That sounds like a great idea
