Has anyone got a random westy roof mech lurking in their garage they don't want. Mine looks as though it has been "adapted" by a previous owner, and is now inoperative
Check if this is all of it or just the cross bar. https://nlavw.com/roof/434-westfalia-steel-push-bar-for-t2-bay-pop-top-roof-mechanism.html
Not got a great deal of experience in westys, but mine has a nut attached to the centre bar on each side, I don't think that's an original feature?? The thread one on side has been stripped so the nut has fallen off. It's has been becoming more difficult to push up recently
Mine is fixed to the spring hinge at each end with a bolt M4/5 bolt which goes through a hole at the end of the horizontal push bar. Bolt screws into a captive nut. Late bay roof.
Which one do you have? The rear hinge ones have a centre lock, or a lock on each side (earlier rear hinge Westies). They all have the H shaped lifting mechanism.
I have one complete and been zink passivated not sure if I want to sell pm what you want to spend Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk
Got some roof canvases too dave if your interested in a spare? Not sure if they’re for front or rear hinge? Cher’s steve
Moons, sorry, I didn't see your reply for some reason. Mine locks on both sides. The internal spring has come loose on one side, hence my looking at either fixing the old one or getting another one.
Mate I'm really not sure how much these cost. I've seen one in the states for $250,is my only guidance
