Default au tonneau

hey all does a new fg tonneau fit on an au?
just wondering size wise. found an awesome fpv one for my au.
and since im a motor trimmer i think i can doctor it up to fit my ute.
i know the fg tonneau have no elastic staps but if if the same size i figure i can put the clips on.

cheers Damo

As you've pointed out the setup of how the tonneau attaches to the tub of the FG is a bit different to the AU, IMHO it looks a lot better but it can be a real bugger of a thing to put on if you take it right off the car. I miss my AU one in that respect - just line it up and away you go, with the FG you almost have to wait for the moon to be in the right stage to fit the bloody thing!

I dont know how you would modify an AU to make it work like an FG setup as the FG one is actually built into the tub, it would require modification to the metalwork to fit the rails where it clips into.
