Hi thanks for watching they were self tapping but I did drill a 2.5mm pilot hole first

What do you mean ??

@@leepurnell7073 I think he means, the canvas only goes under the screwed-down white bar, and not taken further underneath the fibreglass, which would mean it is screwed down twice, from top and from below, and with a longer length of canvas. I am curious about this too, and also how rain is prevented from running under the canvas and making the internal roof felt wet. Screwing it down seems inadequate, but I don't have experience so don't know :) Thanks for the video, really helpful and job well done!

The fiberglass is just to tidy up the big hole thats been cut in the roof you don't screw the canvas to it.

Hi thanks for watching. Its 6mm plywood on walls and 12mm on floor

@@leepurnell7073 just a tip for the future is to put all those electrics into corrugated trunking. You have a whole range of pinch points going on.. I. E. that sound deadening in particular is a big hazard being used as a grommet. Yes it gives some cushioning but wll likely wear through over time and it has metal foil which will potentially conduct any break/abrasion in the cable sheathing direct shorting it to earth... I really do hope not though . A lot of good work though and looks great.. 👍

Hey diaspora I am in the same boat as you. I also have to do this myself. I see your comment is 3 months old now. Did you make any headway on this. If not I was thinking we could try help each other out.

Hi thanks for watching 👍. This is how I fitted mine. On the roof of the van it has a gutter down either side with allen key bolts in for a roof rack. I measured from the centre of the bolt that's above the sliding door back towards the rear of the van 10 inches and that's where I put the centre of the gas strut bracket. Please check that it looks right or your van before drilling any holes. Anymore questions just ask. Hope this helps 👍👍

@@leepurnell7073 Thanks for the prompt response. Hole is cut, re-enforcement fitted. Roof to get mounted today! Cheers. N

Well you've done the worst bit cutting a giant hole out the roof😂. Hope it all goes well 👍👍👍

@@leepurnell7073 Roof now fitted, thanks. Just need to attach the canvas but waiting until after the respray for that. Cheers. N
