Thread: Series Safari Roof

I haven't had a close look at one in years but I suspect they were aluminium and about 5/8" diameter by 3/4" long (that's a guess based on a look a long time ago!).

I need some advice on what to use for the spacers between the

can anybody suggest the type of fixings and the dimensions of the little
cylinder spacers ?

cheers,

The height of them is the same as the ribs. When I put one on mine, I used door stop rubbers - the type that screws to the floor. But you could try for the genuine part 336503 - someone may have some still in stock.

The spacers on mine look very much like 1/2" Gal water pipe (22mm OD) they are 35mm long. They have a 3mm insertion rubber washer between them and the roof (you could use 1/2" tap washers for this). The bolts look like 1/4" x 2" slotted round head bolts, they have a mudguard washer between the head and the tropical roof, I would also put in a fibre washer here to keep the water out.
