Getting the hi top roof off was just a matter of cutting the old sealer around the perimeter of the roof from the inside with a very sharp knife. Amazed to find it was held on with sealer only and no brackets or fixings !! You need at least 4 tallish people to lift it off as it is really heavy. Fitt...

Yes it,s quite possible the hole was a factory fitted sunroof, possibly a sliding canvas type? I wasn,t too fussy chopping the old rusty roof off with a disc cutter then grinding the spot welds off,the base lip that the roof sat on was surprisingly solid, then grinding away all the rust and preparin...

Hi. I have just done this. When I took the high top off the steel roof had completely rusted so had to be replaced with a second hand one I found on Ebay for £100.

Hi, I,ve just got back from Dubs at the castle where I bought a second hand rad with what I believe is a 450 watt fan motor. I,ve found an interesting article which says this possibly came off a van of a certain age with AC. Can anyone tell me if this will work instead of my 200/300 watt motor and i...

Course it does, not sure how I missed that. Got one loose castle nut though, split pin snapped too so it needs tightening. Should be fun.
Thanks again

Great link, thanks sambus 2012. How on earth do I get 350 lb/ft torque on this thing? Is that necessary?

Thanks for that. I,m sure you can,t remove the drum with it on though surely?

Can anyone tell me what size socket I need for the castle nut on rear drum of my '83 van? Is it 45 or 46 MM ?

Cheers
