John Comber Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Help please, would a kind sole be able to measure for me the distance from the top of the rear body timber slatted sides to the underside of the metal connector to the roof hoop, I.e. how long is the timber extension that is visible, these are currently missing in my kit of parts.

gas 44 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 We have just replaced ours and although not by the book we made ours either 49 or 50 inches it just gave us a little more headroom and made the canvas look much better. As a very quick job we used soft wood, but we have soom nice oak just waiting to be machined.......saw blade being sharpened. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locolines Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I tried too, to no avail. I would measure mine, but being a dump truck they might be different to yours ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
