Cardboard and butcher paper are a good template material. Yours looks like a much easier project with less posts in the rear behind the fuel pump access.
2 holes or 3 not much difference I see in the work involved.
Rolling up the cover or folding it and dropping behind the seat is way easier then complete removal
Just what I have considered doing as I'm more interested is shading the rear seat / shelf. Although it would be nice to include the back of the passenger seat when not in use.
Please keyword your post to the easy button for drilling the stud location on dash without removing screen.
Finding the location of the "easy button" had me looking all over for a while, I knew you were talking tags but just couldn't find that tiny link down there at the bottom. Not sure how to use the "Tags" after the fact and not really interested. I suggested using a "long drill bit". Search for those 3 terms including the quotes and the post should pop up. The bit may not be your cup of tea.
Zippers or Velcro with a under laid flap is the usual method for allowing the cut outs for the bar itself or supports.
Yep, I know about the zips and velcro. I was asking about how you intended to finish off around the holes themselves. Leave a raw cut, hem or finish with a material that would close off against posts. Just curious, another method? Pretty much has to be velcro as zippers of the type required are impossible to find. Short, heavy duty, plastic, jacket zippers are required and there just isn't much of a need for that item. Eliminating one of the variables and you might have some luck. I've got a guy working on the holes and waiting for a call to pick it ... oops, phone rings, and it is ready for pick-up. Less than half a day turn around and an hour+ actual labor.
I just need to add the "dots" at the door / bar area and with the batten it's ready to start being used. 2 more "dots" installed at the door / wing and it will be all dash fasteners left. Looks like 4 required across the dash, the center 2 and one in each "corner".
Probably going to default to a boat canvas guy. I am hoping that someone is close and has a completed cover just to make it easier for whomever I get help from.
I was under the impression from one shop that a boat canvas shop would be necessary to finish around the holes and started going in that direction but as it turns out don't see the need. Using another's as a template would certainly reduce the time of having to figure it out or paying someone else to. I don't see many roll bar / tonneau combos out there, let alone a tiger, or the specific multi-holer you're looking for. It way be a wait or a "back burner" if you don't jump on it yourself or pay the dollar.
Seems everyone is more alike than different with covers being bought and then put on months or years later only then to find irregularities from the Mfg. Holy cow where the heck is a Robbins certified installer? There are only 2 shops left in my area and one of them is like always been crazy priced and the other has changed hands repeatledy.
With the Tiger sometimes it's better to buy now and store because if you can find it later you may have to pay more $$$$$$. Robbins has an installer search. When I first looked in my area there were 2 on Lomita another on Del Amo. Don't know what it takes to become worthy (just by asking?). Del Amo I would have gone with (probably $$$$) but he said to "check back with later" which means he's wasn't interested. 1 of the other 2 worked out of an old DIY car wash doing window tints, stereo / alarm installs and wheels. Might be OK but not at my comfort level to leave the car there.
