fiamma mounting brackets

Post by ecelston »

hi, got a 1983 westy and bought the t3 mounting brackets for a fiamma f45
problems are it looks like the gutters are a different shape to the later models? anybody know if this is right? and ifso is there a different mounting kit avilable for the early models?
regards

Same mate, some hardtops maybe an issue but generally they do fit.....However, when they are new they can be a pretty tight fit to get the brackets to line up and bolt to go through.
Note* Fiamma's picture has the nut side of the bracket 'OUTSIDE' which I found catches the poptop as it is raised.

Here is mine fitted:

Pardon the dirty gutters and the part of the hightop I can't clean without taking the awning off :D
