Rover8FFR Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 A General question to the series 2/ 2a owners out there that have either an FFR or GS with Dexion fitted. The correct fitting in a Rover Mk8 was that the uprights for the Dexion support also had the first roof hoop as an integral part. I wondered if any owners had this original item still in place. It is my opinion that as and when a need for the canvas roofs to be removed in service was needed that an alternative was used. Namely the upright bracket that became common in the series 3 FFR's. I was curious if my interpretation was accurate or there was another base modification reasoning! All the literature shows the correct Dexion support / hoop, but I have never seen one in the flesh or possibly on our threads. They seem to be the Holy Grail on a Toastie Rover 8 or 9?? Cheers and a Happy New Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozzaboy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Only ever seen it in the parts book. When I first brought My FFR the dexion and frame was missing and ended up replacing it with a set from a series 3 as it turned out my FFR had the rivnuts already in the capping for the later set up.
