Was someone asking on here a while back about how & where the sliding bed boards fit into the Devon roof?
If so, I now have some photos which should explain how it all works, but I won't upload them unless you want them... So does anyone want them?

yes please, I just have an empty space in my roof and am considering how to fit it out. Any inspiration would be welcome.

With all boards removed, view from front looking backwards, see that beam above the rear seats again...

Thank you v. much. About to start making my own frame for my demon roof (fiberglass bed base thing that goes on the tin roof) so this was useful to see the framing close up.

Thanks again, David
