Re: Roof rack for a 1980 devon poptop????

Been searching for exactly the same thing for ours, found some pictures of poptops with them fitted but think I'll have to get one fabricated, unless anyone on here knows any different :ok

Re: Poptop help please

That's what I was thinking, is 22mm pipe a snug fit to the frame bars?

Re: Poptop help please

Wondered how it looked before! The rear cupboards were gone when we got it and the roof lining looked someone had been chain smoking in there for years! Have refitted the original sink and hob into the new cupboards and still have the separate grill .....somewhere

Re: Clutch problems!

The hose looks ok, I'll leave in place if it's a safer option, didn't think about the movement around there but does make good sense

Re: Clutch problems!
