Does anyone have a pattern for making your own Tonneau? I'm not just cheap, I have an idea to make my own so that I can make it like a british flag. I think it would look nifty against the white of the car.

TIA
 
I don't have a pattern but think that would look really cool. Stars and bars would be nice also. I saw a tonneau on a B in a parking lot that went over the windscreen also. Has anyone ever seen this before or is it a custon job?

Get an old bed sheet and a black magic marker. Contact someone near you that has a tonneau cover for their MGB. Lay the tonneau cover over the sheet and trace around it with the black magic marker. Take a pair of scissors and cut out your pattern. Be sure to mark all the snaps and the zipper. This should make a good pattern. You could use an old tarp or a plastic/vinyl shower curtain. You can always test the pattern to your MGB and make any adjustments before making the real tonneau cover. Good luck and post the finished product.
