That looks like it... Tonneau-Tex.

I havn't found a link that sells it by the yard yet... (that ebay guy is out of stock)

But I'll bet someone here will find a good source...

Mike...

P.S. Hope your mom gets well soon!

Surveytech, that looks like the exact stuff I used. I paid about the same price but mine was only 61" wide instead of 72".

I have just done a quick search and they list www.bruinplastics.com as the maker. Unfortunately I could not open at that address. Could someone give it a try please.
Cheers

It would make an excellent bra material for the front of a tear/TTT. The guy I got this from had a sample of Kevlar material that looked cool as hell but it was black, as per usual. It also had the same backing as the diamond plate material I bought.

Thanks for all the comps, guys. I emailed Hodder and Destin Dave some pics before I made it public on the forum and both thought it was aluminum diamond plate. I'll get some trim on the edges and post some more pics.

BTW, Mom is awake, talking, walking and doing 100% better than she was two days ago. I appreciate all the thoughts and well-wishing for her. :thumbsup:
