I've been on the look out for a westy pop top for a while to convert my tin top.
Saw this earlier on fleabay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... _500wt_949
The seller seems to be suggesting cutting the whole roof off at the pillars and welding this roof on to convert a tintop.
Is this the normal way a pop top would be fitted? I thought it sounds a little extreme and possibly dangerous! Aren't there chassis strength issues in cutting roof pillars?

Re: pop tops
must admit, never known one fitted like that before. do not cut your roof off. serious note, genuine westy vans have a different shape roof to normal vans so this is not as straight forward as simply swapping it onto your roof. They can be fitted and i have 1 on mine but have used the westy mozaic kit. have a look here at one, not mine but a good job done.

Re: pop tops
That's a great thread, thanks.
I didn't realise the roof shape was different, it's certainly more involved than I had imagined. I would love to get the O'Connors poptop fitted but it's just sooo much money. I guess I will just continue stooping for now!
