I picked one up from Dean at datsunparts.com a few months back. Haven't had it installed yet; need to have the headrest pockets sewn in, the rear bar sewn in, and HW for the twistys and posties installed as well.

Thanks, I'm looking for someone that sale completed custom fitted tonneau covers and the only thing I will need to be done is a custom fit around the roll bar by an upholstery professional. I'll check out Deans site.

Recently completed mine by adding fasteners and fitting around the rollbar. Elected not to install the headrest covers, removed for storage. This is a pinpoint vinyl cover recommended by Linda, from RockAuto. Supplier is the usual suspect.

The tonneau looks great. I just installed the roll bar and need to have mine tailored like yours. But my question is, where'd you find that mirror? It looks like a wide view that mounts to the old hardware.

Mirror is a convex wide-view that clips onto the original frame, still there.
I used to run a five-frame WINK mirror, but found the convex to be lighter and easier to use.

If you wanted a cutout like the original Datsun one, here is couple of local pics of how the opening for the optional roll bar tonneau cover looked. Probably would be able to do the same for a larger tubed aftermarket roll bar.
