Hi all
can anyone suggest a good source for a tonneau cover. Are the Shetland shop ones good quality, as they seem to be the most expensive. Any help please

Re: 570 tonneau cover
Hi Steve,
I purchased a tonneau cover for my Black Hawk a few months ago and, having shopped around for quotes locally, I ended up getting it from the Shetland shop because it was actually cheaper. I am very pleased with the quality, plus it fits properly (I believe that they still have the original patterns to make them from).
Hope this helps. regards, Damian.

Re: 570 tonneau cover
I got mine from Shetland too, at the time they were the only option for the Black Hawk. If I remember rightly a company called Little Haven or something like that were highly recommended on the forums a couple of years ago

Re: 570 tonneau cover
I emailed Shetland Boats for a price in September:
"We are able to supply a canopy and frame.
The cost for a canopy is £520, frame is £175 and shipping would be £50
Total including VAT is £894.00"
The shipping was for Shetland so would be a lot more than for you 'southerners'
I have had no reply to my requests for a tonneau cover price

Hi, the cockpit cover for my Black Hawk cost £288 inc vat & UK mainland delivery. This was from the Shetland Shop, June 2011.
