Hi

1982 - 1.6 n/a Devon (brown n cream)

If you have a Devon conversion with a cracked and sun bleached Elixir skylight - or need repair parts i may have found a supplier.

One of the few things letting down the apperance of my camper is the gaffer taped/ cracked and sun bleached skylght.

Having spent ages ringing around and searching on internet, the only supplier I could find for elixir 14X14 skylights was in america -

I didnt want to replace the complete old original Elixir unit with the newer Fiamma white ones as I think it would look a bit odd being brilliant white (orange or smoke seem to be the original vent colours) and the fiamma required the hole in the pop top enlarging so I have been putting up with the original whilst searching for reasonable condition secondhand.

I have found a uk company called ABP accessories tel 01664 561494 - http://www.abp-accessories.co.uk/product.php?cat=26" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - who stock elixir spares and have ordered a replacement today - they do other repair and replacement parts for the older skylights - if it fits my devon pop top - I will let you all know

Thanks,

Im hoping its a direct replacement -

btw.....My camper is identical to yours (except mines a diesel 1.6na)

Should be delivered next week so I will let people know if it is ...

ps - in a similar vein I found replacement lamp shades (the ones that go mucky brown with age) for the lab craft fluorecent units - google lab craft there are a few uk stockists - usually boating outfitters - makes a difference to the look of the interior... - only about a tenner for both !

Did the skylight fit as I am after one for my Devon, the interior is looking rough too so going to start on that. Any idea where I can get other bits from? :ok
