yeh so was i zed they do hold it but its quite heavy so it doesnt just ping up like the original which is light in comparison . @nicko_1982 ill take some more pics tomorrow if i get chance , where are you ? if you were close id show you and even help you fit one if you did go for it . ok bud
I had a JK roof cap but I decided to investigate the leaks before fitting it, I scraped off the black cracked vinyl stuff and got the hose pipe on it, all the leaks were down to loose rivits, a pack of rivits and some decent mastic cured everything incl the skylight
their you go then , get keith ta sort it for you or buy his cap , i bet it was yours the sold me cheap lol
Doesn't help that they have a kerzillion rivets in the top of them!! It doesn't really make sense as to why devon decided to use a multi section roof, as opposed to making one in GRP... the lower section that sits on the roof is GRP...
I did sell it but it was before I found the forum, sold the cap and updated springs but I kept the mastic
@Barneyrubble - I'm based in Gloucestershire now and haven't updated my avitar as yet. Is that any closer to you?
no not really bud , still 200 miles ish , have think , the only thing i will say is everyone thinks it looks ok , plus the seagul poop comes off easy and it doesnt blow off when your doing 80 down the motorway either ay @Silver Its really easy to fit bar the springs but i can talk you thru that one if you have a few hrs .
i agree paul , just wish they had made a built in upstand in the caps for the roof light which would make more sense too!!
That sounds awful Paul, I'll have to try and get it undercover and do a bit at a time trying to work out which rivets are shafted and drill them out and replace.
but that will cost me a small fortune. I've got heaps to buy for the bus this year including: Full seal set Propex Roof?? LPG conversion? It's going to be an expensive one! but i guess sensible to have a dry bus rather than one which is warm and wet or great mpg but wet!!
i only used four bolts , i did silaflex as my bellows were ok and i didnt want it to vibrate but it would be a bugger if i wanted to get it off , if i did it again id just bolt it and put some rubber or pyrosorb on to stop it bouncing , i lagged mine under too .
