Hi there, I have taken off my Devon pop top. The tin top of my bus is completely rotten, so I will have to replace it. I have taken a photo of the rear right corner where the Devon pop top was fitted. So here's my question: Does this look the same on your bus (apart from the rust), or is this a homemade reinforcement?
Thanks a lot for the info. What a nice piece of work. ;D Did other manufacturers (Viking, Danbury) do this the same way?
Mystery solved. ) So they took a Mogwai, put it in the garage with the bus... spilled a bucket full of water... and quickly closed the doors.
It's shocking isn't it? Anything which was hidden looks botched. I took the external fridge vent off my moonraker the other day and the hole in the panel looks like it's been cut with a tin-opener on a penknife.
That sounds good, thanks a lot! I'll see if I can get a hoop. This may take some time, but I'm not in a hurry. 8)
You're right there. I also have a good tin top in sight I can use, but it is not from a scrap van. It's from a guy who wants to convert a syro camper into a tin top, so he will keep his hoop.
Sorry for doubleposting, but after starting to remove the tin top, I've got another, quite similar question. Although I can guess the answer, I dare to ask the following: Is this also original Devon- made roof reinforcement?
Quite possibly... I'd have to have a closer look at mine, but it's gonna be a while before I get to it
That's easy to find out: If you can't see the welding points (is this the correct term?) in the gutter, you also have this reinforcement.
