westfalia roof bed help

[mpop]

Can somebody with a westfalia double roof bed show me some pics of their bed in the up position, with close up pics of the toggles and brackets if possible.

My westfalia is a early one with the roof rack on the back of the van.

In the last year I have two pairs of toggles break, don't know if I am doing something wrong.

I've done this in ours, the existing toggles won't line up as the bed was designed to go in the late westy not the early (rack at front). I've fixed my front brackets (hinge) to the roof but a lot of people have left the bed loose and that works fine also.

They were designed for 1972-1973 Continental buses.

I have one fitted to my 70 Westy and the toggles line up fine.
