ok,
so cut out he whole today.
tomorrow we will fix the new roof to the old roof.
whats the best way of doing it ?
i assume we need to attach the struts and then elavate it
which will reveal the hinge positions ???
btw this is a devon side elevating or moonraker as some call it
any pics would be great
google on this occasion is not my friend.
thx jim

I had to put the hinges on the van first then attach the roof. Sit the roof in position on the van to mark where the hinges will sit. Take roof off and fit hinges, sit roof back on and fit roof. Then hold up the roof with something to fix the struts. Then everything else. After lots of head scratching your done.
