Hi Guys - i've recently purchased all the bits for the aluminum tonneau and the aluminium boot lid to clean up the look of the car - as i intend to use only for competition going forward.

does anyone have any pictures of the various brackets etc and how they were mounted ?

for the Tonneau itself I assume the front possibly slips between the bracket supplied and under the scuttle... and is fixed at the rear ? the cross brackets for the boot section seem to be fitted with riv nuts - but i assume most racers covert to DZUZ ? again any pics/tips appreciated.

It's all pretty much self explanatory when you come to fit it. The boot cover has two bars that slip over the bulkhead chassis rail and bolt the other end onto the roll-over bar. Their position is defined by the centre section. The tonneau slips over the sill protector and has a hoop type bar that bolts at the front to the dash to create a slot between the skin, but I decided to do away with that as it seemed an aesthetically messy solution. I just bolted it with stainless set screws to the skin. I can't recall if the Dzuz fasteners came with it but I ended up buying a full set of all the available lengths to ensure a perfect fit.

Thanks…. Yes, wasn’t sure the value on the curved bracket to go on the dash to support tonneau…

Ask unsure on the central tube - as it must just Rivet/or bolt onto dash… which seems a bit ott. Esp onto a carbon dash.

Rear should be fairly straightforward as you say
