hi folks below is my attempt at a vertical tonneau cover that is not wood, but 4D carbon wrapped, rubber edged and bolted in place, and to top it off a big chrome polished Z badge in the middle. Im well happy with the results it looks a pro job if I don't mind saying lol.DSC03279_zps0c5460c2.jpg DSC03280_zps4b28e614.jpg DSC03282_zps9312dac5.jpg DSC03284_zps035397d4.jpg Ian thanks for the IMG info! the brackets I will spray black at the weekend so they blend in better. hope you guys like the look?

the board is made out of two 10mm think black plastic foam board that is used on sign boards, so its strong but lighter than wood. I have edged it with 2mm think rubber foam so it fits nice and snug wont mark the plastic.

can you bolt a st/st one onto aluminium, they have different expansion tolerances? if you can get me one to copy I can have a go!

You could possibly get away with it since the plenum is low pressure but I wouldn't recommend it, plus if the stainless expands quicker than the bolts then could end up cracking the plenum or stretching the bolts. But lots of different factors are involved so countless things could happen.
