Is it more intended to insert into the fabric? :

Yes it is originally intended to insert into fabric but you could bond it with high strength epoxy to your aluminium tonneau. This would be next to invisible and the advantage compared with the lift the dot, is that you can release from the pin on the main body, by just pulling straight up on the knob. Many years ago I used them on a blanking plate where the spare wheel would normally be, on a racing 4/4, where we needed access to be able to change the differential quickly to alter the gearing for different circuits.

He is very competent, but he is not the king of storage!

How do you get a Lift Dot locking mechanism to work with a rigid material?

Lovely work and a rather interesting workshop! As Wilson has suggested I’d try Tenax fasteners.

I'm guessing... a large hole under the mohair, and mohair patch is attached to the metal on one side of the patch?

Here is the drawing of the flexible tie that the saddler will make for fixing the hard top

On this link, the photos I had made of the same saddler, when he had built a caferacer saddle on a 1976 Honda twin that I owned :
