quit Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I just got a RA roof flap for my wagon :) :) :) but how the hell am i going to fit it? There is no going back once the cut is in is there? Measure - Centre line and CUT!! dremmel should go strait through or need a jigsaw?
savage bulldogs Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Did you get the roof lining as well matt? If so could you take a measurement off that ? As for cutting it out best of luck buddy I struggled with cutting the rear bulkhead to fit the 6x9 in my saloon lol
Gambit Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I've never done it sorry :) But as always welcome any pictures of a good job or a bad one :D
stants Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Harsh gambit ! If in doubt measure and measure again, then get somone else to go over your measurements who doesnt have wonky eyes from looking at it to hard, [emoji51]
Jay762 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 see if you can get a nibbler instead of jigsaw, or take time with dremmel - you can always get it reversed by a plate and some welding / brazing rods. good luck matey!!
Scooby Pete Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Don't think its a simple as just cutting a whole in the roof. Ok this is a new age but I doubt its that much difference. http://www.scoobypedia.co.uk/index.php/Projects/InstallingASpecCRoofVent 1
quit Posted October 25, 2014 Author Posted October 25, 2014 Yeah I had a look earlier , soon as I finish my kitchen I will start 1
Th4neuk Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 One thing I did when cutting a hole in the wing of my fronty was cover it in masking tape. Made the marking out easier and the drilling/filing process (I didn't have a hole saw so had to do it the old fashioned way lol) much easier. Once you have the centre line you could always measure the diagonals to test it is square? Cheers and good luck :-) Cheers Alan 2
quit Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 I cut my defender years ago ! That seemed thicker steel than this tho I was only 20 years old and didn't care
Gambit Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I had a van like that didn't care and all I had to do was drill a hole :D Oh I did put a spoiler on another car that was my main toy at the time was pretty nervous about doing that. I would have a look at that bit's you get with it and should be able to see the best one to use as a guide. I think I would be tempted with a body shop though :) unless it was going to cost silly amounts.
quit Posted October 28, 2014 Author Posted October 28, 2014 It arrived yesterday , ran home from work and lined it up I don't like it ! Lol
Gambit Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Lol guess it's a good job you haven't fitted yet... Or is that what you're saying you have started to :D
BlackBosh Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 I would so sacrifice my map lights for that, looks mega
