  1. Could anybody please show me a pic of how the pop top is held in the down position the previous owners of my bus have put rusty hinges on the outside, but I can see no clips on the outside of anybody else's roof ??also what is best to use to repair the roof where the clips have been as there is screw holes left open
    Mine is front hinged:thumbsup:

    rickyrooo1 Hanging round like a bad smell

    put some pics up, it's hinged at the rear and there's a spring clip (or two hoop clips) inside to hold it shut.
     
  3. Where are you? Best idea is to find someone near you and have a measure. Mine is a rear hinge one and it has articulating hinges that fit under the roof as it folds down which they all are I think. Mines in Derby by the way if you are around these parts
     
  4. Unfortunately Bertie I'm in Swindon it's a bit far but thank you mate, Ricky I have had a look through my pics and I haven't got a decent close up I will have to get one tomorrow

  12. porn you've got my attention:thumbsup:
     
  13. My hold downs also held the bed up, if you get my gist and they broke and werent available. I had to remake them myself using all the original metal bits and a rubber bonnet hook which was the same size and profile. I lost the roof when I moved house some years ago unfortunately.
