Salut Jérome,

Je suis depuis longtemps la resto de ton bus qui est superbe et me sers de tes plants de ciel de toit pour refaire le mien

Je n'ai pas le bus sous la main (il est en révision) et il me manque une cote pour finir de couper mes planches

l'as tu noté quelque part ?

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.

et j'imagine que cette partie s'enfonce dans la boite diffuseur d'air ?

peut être as tu une photo du détail de cette partie une fois monté ?

Merci beaucoup pour ton aide

I'm sorry for the french but my english is very bad

Guillaume

the trim alex was selling is the same as whats available on chinese market sites like alibaba.com

it takes a bit of searching but you can find the right size material. of course its not exactly like original. I imagine that would have to be custom made.

the drawing I made is based on the cut I did,
and the red line has the same width as the fresh air box.

here is a picture after the roof was installed:

To restore my roof, I did not have an original subhatch wood panel that I could use as master, so I probably made some mistakes, however both dimensions I came-up with made the resotred roof spot on.

You can see in these photos that the og piece is straight across on the front edge. I found that the grill on the fresh air vent had to be put on after the wood was in place to allow it so sit right.

beside that detail, dimensions I provided in my drawing should be right.
However, cab2276 I suggest you to make some trial before you cut the final plywood. I saw that the subhatch roof was grafted on your bus, so you need to be even more vigilant.

to keep the roof right in place and edges locked into the gutters you need to make sure to build those slices of plywood that will be nailed onto the hard wood structure. otherwise the panel will pop-up.
