As I rarely put the lid up on my '33 AH tourer, I really need some form of 'tonneau cover' to protect the entire four-seat tub when parked up in rainy, or damp weather.
Ideally this would allow for the front driver/passenger sides to be divided (to allow for sole occupant/two occupants).
Has anyone designed/made such thing and would they have a 'plan' or sketches/photos they would be willing to share? Any suggestions would be welcome. Many thanks.

Ah, I wondered how you were going to fasten it at the front; a flap trapped by the opening windscreen is cunning.

I don't add extra fixings to take the tonneau, so at the rear there are two holes that slip over the existing lift-a-dots for the hood cover.
The windscreen trapping won't sustain a big puddle of water in the middle.
It needs elastics from the bottom corner of the front flap down to hook under the wing or running board, which would help.
Two more elastics from just behind the doors allows it to be folded and tucked behind the seats as a cover to hide your shopping from passers-by whilst letting them see the instrumentation, etc.

Thank you gentlemen, and great photos, by the way. I can see an amalgamation of the two ideas forming and will make up a pattern using something from the linen cupboard, and will post photos when complete. It could be some time...
