When we went to Snetterton last the inside of the unprotected car got soaked. In order to stop this happening I need to make some sort of tonneau cover. I’d also like to make something that stops some of the whirlpooling of air inside the cockpit that these sorts of cars tend to make.
I made a tonneau for the Fury but it was a bit naff really. So I decided to do something a bit better this time. So, I made the thing in the photo on the right.
Note that this is actually seamed. What’s more, I did it myself. Even I can sew with the aid of a sewing machine; it’s just like using a lathe really. You will have noticed that there’s only half of this. This is because the shape of the two sides of the car are dramatically different because of the 
screen. Hence, I’ve got a wacky idea involving the use of magnets to fit a cover to the other side. I haven’t had time to effect it yet, though.
So, I’m just about ready to go off testing again in a few days. Doubtless it’ll pour down with rain again…
looks great! hope you did it while Anthea was out! 😉 can’t wait to see it get on the track.
I’m afraid not, she was very much around at the time. Not sure she as too convinced about my approach to pinning the fabric in place, using an office stapler, but she was OK with the rest! 🙂

Oh dear she’ll have you making curtains and cusions next!
Whats up with just using staples!
I did think about leaving the staples there, but it did look rather naff. 🙂
I don’t think you understand my wife. She doesn’t really do making curtains and such like…

EXACTLY!;)
