it's clear you're over the hump on this car Sven, great work.
... I know... might only drive it at night ... am dreading the thought of a drooping liner replacement with the roof bolted and glued in place. I will think positively ... it will stay up!!!The real test for a roof lining is when it sits in hot sunshine for a while.....
Don't glue it! Just bolt it, with a smear of coolroom mastic.... I know... might only drive it at night ... am dreading the thought of a drooping liner replacement with the roof bolted and glued in place. I will think positively ... it will stay up!!!
I’m also a Vyfab fan, I brushed mine on slowly rolling it back onto itself (fabric onto roof) so it wasn’t out too long. It certainly was thirsty.Where are you getting the fabric from Sven?
The guys at Vyfab sell a contact adhesive specifically designed for roof linings. I found it's best to apply it with a foam roller, the solvents do eventually dissolve the foam but they're cheap. It avoids applying to much glue and having it come through the top face of the fabric.
Well spotted Eagle eye!Sven, a minor quibble: I see you're using an older diagram for your guide . The one I followed was here:
http://bk23.free.fr/MR/DR472_64_ID19PLANCHES.pdf plates 124 G and H, pages 171 and 172 (according to the Acrobat reader). The original French wire schedule was here: http://bk23.free.fr/MR/DR472_64_ID19TEXTE.pdf pages 413-420 (again, according to the Acrobat reader). The English translation I supplied you should be reasonably accurate- darn well better be, as many times as I had to do it!! That's another story.......
I remember that discussion... yes, mine make the floor flat and the handles sit on both bump stops. Not sure how yours doesn’t... would have thought they are all the same. Can take a photo if that helps.Hello, if you fold the rear seat forward, do the D shaped handles hit the rubber bump stops on the sill? And does the entire floor become flat?
On mine, when I do that, seat base handles do touch the bump stops, but the floor is not level.
