I spotted this 110 whislt on a trip to st David's in Wales, is anybody able to identify this 110's tonneau cover?

Seems like a perfect solution but never seen these made for defender tubs never understood why. Anyone made one or know where they can be bought from?

I made my own - They're known as vertical shutters - used on Fire Engines and the like, vertically o_O ... but they're also quite happy to work horizontally...

I bought the bits from a firm called Dover Vanguard in Oldham, Lancashire... but they'll be somewhere local to you that'll be able to assist - might even be worth asking your local firebrigade... :)
 
Looks exactly the same as my Garage door roller-shutter. Big tin box for the shutter-roll in its "up" state and guide rails at the sides.
They are made from linked ali-sections and can be made to any reasonable width. They are not very strong though, I punched a huge dent in mine with the tow-ball. :oops:

Some of them are indeed very weak - but the extruded double box ali which I used was strong enough for me to jump up and down on ... and I'm no lightweight....;)
