Poptop help please

[SpongebobSquarebus]

Hi everyone , we've a Poptop 83 Danbury and the corners of the metal frames which hold the roof bellows shape have broken, does anyone know where we can get replacements or is it case of having to get some made?

Do you mean the plastic corner sockets as on my old Danbury which easily break with age?

Ha Ha ...I never got round to ever finding any all those years ago I was thinking of adapting plastic plumbing pipe elbows at the time,as any second hand ones are pretty rare.

Not running too bad, though after not using it through the winter I had forgotten how gutless it is! ,we've fitted a new interior as somewhere on its travels to us someone butchered the cupboards and previous owners let there dogs sleep in it so after a rather itchy camping trip last year it's now reupholstered too! I'll post some pics when I work out how too!

Sounds good..For posting pics 1) Open a photobucket account 2) upload your photos to photobucket 3) Copy and paste the img code in the box beneath the picture into your post on 80/90.

Thats one smart interior far better than the original.

And the Original when I had the van

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

thats a very easy fix . when mines broke ,i did the following get one or two small lenths of 22mm copper pipe , get a nice 90 degree bend on them cut to size , easy fit , and bobs yer uncle.
I did mine in 2006 and no worries at all .

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

[hakuna matata]

22mm copper pipe was good for mine , but if you not sure just get a small piece from a local plumber near you and try , before buying new lenths of copper pipe,
ask the plumber to bend you four corners for a beer or two ....
