Westfalia poptop has struts & no H bar - any advice?

Post by irishkeet »

HI

I bought a CAT D westy as a syncro donor vehicle. Its arrived today and the poptop has no H bar, instead it has gas struts. Its a genuine westy but I have never seen one without the H bar. The poptop does not have any holes where a H bar may have been in the past, all looks genuine and correct even the pull cord. Any thoughts, anyone come across this before?

Maybe worth dig through broscures at vwpix.org or asking Christoph Boltze who is running that site
