Hoping to find some detail on the area circled in the pic. I want to convert my microbus to a camper so I need to fabricate the channels that hold the cab roof cards.

I think you already have what you need.

| Thanks for the pics nice job. Mine has microbus style serrated tabs for cloth headliner instead of the j shaped channels for commercial cards. The differences are along the fresh air box and across the top of the sunvisor. |

| Thanks Clara, I had a feeling there might be a channel in there too. Does that channel run the full perimeter of the inside gutter or is it just the cab section? |

Just FYI, best not to take up more room in the gallery by uploading an image already in the gallery. Instead just copy the forum code and paste it into the post you are making. Happy if you want to use our images, but why take up more TS computer memory for same image.
A lot more images of that area in the gallery under "Wounded Westie". Just type in "Eric&Barb" in the "Search for Submitter:"

Oops sorry, I had saved the picture to my phone when I found it and didn't update the thread until a few days later, so I found the pic in the easiest place as I'd lost track of where I found it originally.
Thanks for the great detail pic, happy to delete mine and replace it with yours. |

No big deal, but would be better that way. There is a button on each of the gallery image pages in the lower left that reads as "Add photo to favorites". Once you click on that, you can access that image easily in your "Favorite Photos" in the pop up list when you hover your mouse cursor over the Gallery button at the top of TS pages. Just figured that one out all too recently!
