Hi all,
I am a newby to the forum. I realise now should have joined before I bought my van. It is not everything I had hoped for
Van chassis number shows it to be early 1968 early bay. It has been fitted with a Westfalia roof which has been modified. I would like to get the roof back to original Westfalia spec for an early bay and need to know the Westfalia tin roof cut out dimensions and location. This for both the early bay and later bay.
Why later bay? Well to my untrained eye the tin roof is cut out I would say for a late bay Wesfalia van with flat sleeping area at the rear of the van. The Westy fiberglass roof is still hinged at the front but the rear luggage carrier is grafted on to the front lifting section to make a full length lifting roof.
Has anyone heard of this type of conversion/ modification? I need to sort it out as the canvass needs replacing and standard Westfalia canvass will be way too short.
Many thanks, Kris
