I don't know whether this is one for this forum or for the conversions chat - but I've got a full length Moonraker pop which is in need of some work. The canvas is fine, bar a small tear in one corner - but of more concern is the state of the hinges. I have googled and searched various forums, but I can't find anywhere which is offering any ideas of replacements. I won't know until I've drilled the rivets out of the existing hinges whether or not they're salvageable - but it's plainly obvious they're rusty as hell...but does anyone have any experience replacing them?
These are what you want http://www.poptop-parts.co.uk/devon-flse.htm I used to have a Moonraker. During a windy night in southern France the roof was almost ripped off with two of the hinges gone and I had to drive the rest of the holiday with a big strap around the bus. Happy days.
Brilliant. That's the page I've not been able to find reference to them searching for "moonraker hinge"! Easy if you know where to look. Cheers
