    Clips are wrong - these look like cast metal screw in clips, but should be black plastic clips with 3 push in plastic pins - like these ones:

    Not meant to have elastic rope. The way the rope goes through the cover is wrong. You shouldnt be able to see those loop things the rope goes through.
    Plus they are the wrong hooks so it must have had a respray and had the wrong hooks put on it. Would love to see the tags.

    You sure about that WB???

    Factory tonneau covers had eyelets.... laccy rope threaded through the eyelet down to the clip and back up through the next eyelet.

    The tonneau and clips pictured on the ute above are aftermarket..... have seen quite a few Tassie utes with that same style tonneau but with factory clips.

    I have a factory tonneau from a mates old HX Sandman under the house, had it for many years..... At least I think I've still got it....
    4/75 HJ XX7 Sandman Panelvan ... Persian Sand currently restoring
    7/76 HX Monaro 4dr 308 4sp... Absinth Yellow and rusty as hell.. SOLD
    3/77 HX Sandman Panelvan ... Absinth Yellow and rusty as hell .. SOLD
