HI all, i have just got hold of my long awaited viking spacesaver roof and could do with as much help/info as i can get.

cheers in advance

Hi Rob, pity you live so far ooop norf, as I would gladly help.
Tis a tad dark out now, but if you could wait till daybreak, I will take a peek for you then.
Just so I know what you want, you need the measurements for the 4 hinges on the gutter,
the measurement for the hole in the roof and where the struts go.
Be a lot easier if I were going to Bustypes eh :mrgreen:

Steve.

are you fitting the whole roof on a tin top!!?? Good luck - two great chaps from the club did mine and did a stirling job too!

Best advice....lay it all out on the floor, and compare the roof length to the length of the bus.
