Pop top canvas replacement

Post by Llamapup »

I have just purchased some replacement pop top canvas and rubber seals on sale from Justkampers. See weblink below:

http://www.justkampers.com/shop/type_25 ... l-kit.html

How challenging is it to fit the canvas and the seals? Any top tips?

I think I'm up for the challenge of fitting the fabric myself, but is there anyone in the Leeds area that is up for lending a hand with the fitting?

Cheers

i`ve done 2, late bay and early t3 are pretty much the same. 86 on are slightly different and i`m in the prosses of doing my 91 syncro now.

i found them pretty awkward to do. not difficult just awkward. "god knows if i was doing it the right way mind :lol: ". the early tents staple in to the roof first and then its just a case of pulling the tent down tight and fitting the bottom alloy strips.

i`m presuming the 86 on tents fit in the same way. ie to the pop top first and then to the metal roof, thats the way i`ll be trying first anyway.

tent should be going on this week.
