ragtop roof section

[Aidan]

Anyone know where I'd get a ragtop roof section for a big window bug? (the entire roof)

something like this ? http://www.magazineclassifieds.co.uk/search/volksworld/details/218425/for_sale.php

Thanks - the only problem is that I need the entire roof section including gutters. Otherwise it'd be good. Its probably a needle in a haystack job because I think that big window bugs only came with the sliding roof. I'm not optimistic unless Ross decides to chop his in a weight-saving effort to save fuel

You don't need the gutters. You'll spend as much time measuring the cut height of the pillars as you would cutting the roof in. There were some ragtops available after Aug '64 when the bigger windows came in but they're pretty rare to say the least.

You haven't seen the gutters of the car that I had this in mind for I was trying to kill two birds with one stone but these things are never simple...

Whay not go for a steel sunroof section? Might be easier to locate one.

It'll probably come to that - I'll have a look this evening and see what's around

I've heard that unless the steel sliding sunroofs got regular maintenance the water drain tubes blocked up and they rotted out like billy-o. If you do come across one, check it over meticulously for rot. No point in adding rust to a car...

nice idea though
