Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows the logistics behind removing an early style devon pop top (with concertina canvas) and replacing it with a rear hinged westfalia roof. Am i going to have to cut the whole any bigger or will it be a simple job of taking one off and putting the other on ? Thanks!
I don’t know but there is a high probability that it won’t be a simple job of taking one off and putting the other on. The Westfalia has steel strengthener between the C posts, a pressed flange around the opening and captive nuts in the roof for the hinges. I can measure the hole if it will help.
The roof openings are in different places. On the Devon the hole goes from level with front bulk heads to behind the rear seat. It is approx 6ft. The westie hole is either further forward or shorter. I'm sure someone with a westie can measure for you
Great idea suppose you could have a front hinge too ? But would need some sort of drain thru for water .
Yep Rear Hinge would work too. Although you end up with less headroom in the main standing area though.
