Hi, you are missing the metal bracket that holds it up, it's the part at the top of attached picture, it bolts on to the roof of the van I front of the aluminium strip that holds the poptop canvas down. It the hinges up a little to allow the head board past then push it down again and the head board rests of the tails of it that stick out.

Don't suppose you have a part number for it do you?

No sorry I don't, my kit came from Jon Faux who was/is on the forum.
He made a replica of the bed that was slightly adapted to work in the early bay, you could try sending him a PM.

I fitted on of these to an early bay a few weeks ago, there wasn't enough room for the hinge that hold the headboard up between the roof canvas and the roof edge, how big is that on
Yours ?

Does anyone know the dimensions of this part? I've got some steel rod at work that I can use to knock one up.

I got my bracket from Rusty. It works a treat.
