    Speaking as (probably) the only person in this thread who has actually done this;
    Yes you can, no you don't need to bodge it up.
    Retain the top door channels with the curved windscreen corner pieces. You will need a piece of flat ally bar as an adapter for the screen/ roof join as the roof has an 'overbite' and own't line up perfectly. You will need some fill in pieces between the door gutter pieces and the roof. 75-100 wide rubber would work well.
    The roof and side bracing will need to be trimmed around the ROPS bars and hoop frames.
    Retaining the ROPS bars unmodified will also require a fill in piece between roof and sides or sides and tub. approx 50mm.
    Will it look factory? NO
    Will it look ok if executed with care? Hell yes!
    Cheers, BDave.

    what about the difference in length of roof 109 inches v 110 inches wheelbase.

    Isn't that the wheel base and not reflective of the size of the body?

    109 vs 110

    The dimensions of the body panels are the same. The junction between screen and roof is different (the 110 has a taller screen so that the Swiss could see traffic lights). You can put a series screen on a 110 and then use a series roof (and vice versa I spose). The wheel arch "eyebrows" disguise the relationship between the wheels and the metal part of the wheel arch.
