bought a used Innovation cover. need help!

already tried innovations website but it's down....


bought the cover used (already painted silver!). Got it home, and realized that I am missing 90% of the hardware. The guy's wife was home when I picked it up, and told me that the box she handed me had all of the hardware in it. The guy should be calling me later, but I'd like to know exactly what I should have for hardware (hinges, prop brackets, cam lock brackets, etc) so that I know I have everything I need. The cover was a good deal.... if I have every single peice I need. Also, it looks like the direction suck, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'll take em!

Could use someone's help quickly.....thanks. Aaron

(pics of an open lid might help)

I own an Innovation Pro-sport. Where is the mounting frame? Their clamp system sucks! You'd be better off running a self tapping screw into the frame. The cheezy clamp system might allow the tonneau to shift and damage your paint.

litnfast,

thanks a million. It's obvious to me now that this guy gave me practically nothing for hardware. I just hope that he has it, and will give it to me. Otherwise, I have a nice cover with no way to mount it.

If worse comes to worse, hopefully I can order new hardware from innovation.

I get the feeling that innovation sold different covers with different hardware, as my searches came up with a lot of different mounting solutions. This only confuses me more.

WTF?

My kit looked nothing like litnfast's. Mine was actually installed by them, although it was about 5 years ago now. The recent kits have gotten much better, but you may have an older kit... I will try and snap a few picts of mine later.

finally got all of the hardware. It was just like litnfast's set up. Wasn't too hard to install, but I definately wasn't too thrilled with the design of it all. Using shims behind the "hinge" bar helped to stiffen the whole thing up. thanks to all for their help, especially litnfast, as his posted pics were my only directions!



thanks, Aaron

Aaron...
Glad the pictures helped.
How about some pics of your truck with it on.
I'm familiar with Quincy Mass as I have family up there. Hauled quite a few catfish out of a lake there when I was a little boy
