Need to order correct size

Are there different sizes of eyelet for the twist fastener for the tonneau covers? Went to West Marine and theirs looked too large to fit properly.
 
Personally Cap, I would get them from a Healey specialist or at the very least a Classic Car parts specialist, they would be the right size then.

:cheers:

Bob is right. The eyelets do come in several sizes, and are mated to the corresponding size fasteners. I just replaced several of mine. Got them from a local upholstery shop that does car/boat tonneaus, but I brought a fastener with me to ensure I got the right ones. Moss Motors, among others, carry the right ones.

I suggest you visit your local upholstery shop. There's only one place that more expensive than a Classic Car parts supplier and that's a marine parts store.....
