Hi All - New Poster and Owner of T3 Autohomes Conversion Hightop 1990 - 2.1 DJ

We had our first night out last weekend - Parked top of a hill (lovely view) wound out awning, legs down.  Turned around and a gust of wind ripped the awning off the van (gutted) 

So I'm busy repairing it at the moment - re-riveting/shaping and making a new plastic part for the arm to fix on.

I have 2 spings that attach to the frame/arms I think.  Anyone got a photo of these in situ? 

Many Thanks 

What model awning ?

Fiamma Automatic Box. Put on the van in 1989. Thanks

Hope that helps a bit. I appreciate it's an old one.

Just to clear this thread up - position of spring highlighted in yellow.

Now working OK after a bit of repair work.
