Pop top roof clips

Post by **meggles** » 02 Jun 2008, 11:18

I am doing a few jobs for a neighbour on his T25 Devon conversion. I noticed some ugly looking pins

which hold the roof clips in place when roof is down. They are surely not original! Anyone got pics of the correct ones so I can make some up?
Thanks

Meggles!

this is a brilliant post for me!!

If I take some piccies of the clips on my camper, any change you could knock some up for my new viking?

I won't try and describe them now.....but they are adjustable.

Unfortunately I can't give you measurements because the van is with the welder at the moment

Send a pic and I'll see what I can do. I am not an engineer though so no promises.

I take it the one on the right is the correct pin. I think I can buy them locally. Probably in packs of twenty or so. I'll check SAP and let you know.
