2. TONNO LOCK
The Tonno Lock is now a standard feature included with all
Tuff Tonneaus. The Tonno Lock is situated at the front of
the tonneau cover, so as not to impede the accessibility of
the Tuff Tonneau.
Fitting the lock is simple and only requires a small
attachment on the inside edge of the tub behind the cab.
Together with a padlock, it provides you with an extremely
effective theft deterrent. The Tonno Lock is designed to suit
all utes and prevent thieves stealing your Tuff Tonneau, so you can continue to rely on the Tuff Tonneaus’
name to give you what you want in a tonneau cover.
2.1 BASIC TOOL REQUIRED
Rivet gun, Drill, Torch, and Marking Pencil/Pen.
You will need to buy a small Padlock- make sure the padlock will go through the hole on the Tonno lock.
2.2 TONNO LOCK CONTENTS
-2 X 4MM Aluminium rivets
-1 x Tonno Lock bracket
2.3 FITTING TONNO LOCK
1. Attach the black lock bracket to the bracket on the tonneau with your padlock, and fit the tarp.
2. Getting under the tarp with a torch, place the lock bracket against the body and mark holes with a pen.
3. Remove tonneau and drill the marks with a 4 mm drill bit, place the lock bracket in position and rivet.

3. MULTI-FIT SUPPORT BAR
The Tuff Tonneau Multi - Fit Support Bar is designed to fit almost all
Utes on the Market, from Suburu Brumbys to Cab Chassis aluminium
trays.
3.1 BASIC TOOL REQUIRED
Drill, 4mm drill bit
3.2 MULTI-FIT SUPPORT BAR CONTENTS
-1 x hollow bar centrepiece - 2 x grub screws
-2 x solid bar end piece - 1 x Tonneau bar sheath
3.3 FITTING MULTI-FIT BAR
1. Insert solid bar pieces into either end of hollow tube. Adjust bar so it fits between bar bracket
holders with the holes facing to the ground (so the grub screws don’t rub against the tonneau), as
shown above and then with a white pencil make a mark through the small holes of the hollow bar
onto the solid ends. This is where you will drill a hole to the depth of about 1-2mm (do not go any
further)
2. Join the pieces back together and screw grub screws through the hollow bar into the holes that you
drilled. Make sure you do not over tighten the grub screws. Then place the tonneau
sheath over the bar to stop the bar wearing against the tonneau. Refit the bar. You may kink the bar
in the middle to give it some extra height to assist with water runoff.
Warning if you do not fit the tonneau sheath over the bar, the tonneau cover will quickly wear through
which is not covered by warranty.
