Thanks for all the advise. I've had a look underneath and there are no leaks from the fuel line (if I've got the right one) but the breather pipes as they enter the expansion tanks don't look too great. Do you know how I get access to the topof the tank to see the other end of the breather pipes, an...

Urgent advise needed!!!!

Going to Europe tomorrow and I've just filled the van with fuel. Maybe I put a bit too much in but it started leaking out from underneath the van. Is this normal? I would have expected to overflow from the fuel cap. Is their anything underneath that I can check? Any advise greatly appreciated! Graham

Fitting westy roof

Hi

I just in the process of fitting a westy roof to my tin top. Can someone tell me do the bars holding down the bottom edge of canvas go on the inside or outside?

Cheers

Thanks for the advice. I'll get the mesh over the holes before I fit it and ensure there is a gap in the seal at the rear. Do you think it would be worthwhile having a gap towards the front as well or will this do more harm than good?

Fitting a westie pop top

I'm fitting a westie pop top to my van in the next few weeks so I'm just working out how things works. Can anybody tell how the rainwater drains away from the front luggage section once it has gone through the drain hole and on to the roof. I was told by the guy I bought it off that they found a lot...

Stef thanks for the useful link. At least I'm not the only one considering the conversion. I must admit I was hoping not to make a full length opening because of the strengthening involved although it will reduce the amount of room for a bed. Has anybody got the location details for the fixings by a...

Fitting a westy pop top

OK I've finally decided to fit a second hand westy pop top to my van. Although probably the scariest part I'm not too concerned about cutting the opening. What is more of a worry is locating the right position for the rear hinges and the brackets for the front luggage rack. Does anybody have a drawi...

Fitting a pop top

Hi all Sorry to barge in on your conversation but I am also looking at fitting a westy pop top onto my tin top. It looks fairly straight forward but I have two questions: 1) How do you determine the exact location for the fixings for the hinges and the front roof rack and 2) How did you go about str...
