Just out of interest, has anybody tried to make a ute cover.
I cut out a template of 5 mm mdf, and got some 50mm pvc piping, cut in halve and mitred so it overlaps the edges, contacted a fiberglass co and got quotes on materials needed, worked out to be about $300 bucks. minus painting it/gas struts. in it raw form, looked like it would fit and be satifactory, but was unsure about the finish end result, I allready know it would not look as good as a factory/aftermaket one, but has anybody ever tried this? Also if one was to do this, where do you buy the lock nuts, and how do they attach to the tub? Currently it is sitting waiting for me to give it a go, but alas, @ $300 it would be either a complete success or a dismail failure.. Not sure whether its worth the risk, would be a great project.. Anybody given it a go. |
