Replacing the ceiling in a tin top

[Jim San]

ny suggestions? Mine came with nothing. I'm thinking thin ply but having measured it the centre section doesnt lend itself easily to 8x4 board!
I havnt got the budget to have the while roof lined with usual automotive lining - will prop do cab area with that though.

Any suggestions welcome.

just did my syncro a few weeks ago 8x4 3mm perfect size and enough flex, I cut it into 2 sections to make it easy to work with,cab bulkhead line back to centre bar in roof heres a few pics,really turned out well,used self tappers put changes to black panel screws much better finish. thread on here http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... &start=165" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Cheers for that. I see how you did that. When I measured I found there would be nothing along the sides to secure to - only accross the strengthening bars in. Just wondered about the middle sagging over time?

Will have a stab at this ASAP

i did mine as above but with hardboard 5 years ago...it sags in middle, but not too noticeably. "upgrading" to plywood is a winter upgrade this year
