Re: Rear canopy
G'day chaps, after yesterday and lot's of visitors bringing along trinkets large and small i can't say rising from my slumber land was easy this morning but i think more like afternoon really all because of excitement gratitude and non stop talking about mine and of coarse your hobby.
If a landrover camper could have been built just by the movement of my mouth and brain it would have happen yesterday i can tell you it's also as soon as i sat i was gone with the fairies and after that i can't say i remember much but something must have happened because i woke up in my slumber land .
Anyway i eventually got started and in very much the same way the wiring had to be sorted not because of anything being wrong but i just want it neater a light for the awning/canopy and a power take off for that awning i got from Dan C which is the same as Trevs.
If Dan reads this or Robin can remember because it is in that safe place but from what i remember it was a two berth with awning and sides so can anyone shed some light on what i got from Dan please or if no joy there what size is Trevs.
I have tried contacting Dan but i am probably doing something wrong because i rarely get any replies from a few i have tried to contact .
Catch you later. R-Rose

Re: Rear canopy
Well chaps, it's been another productive day on HEC although from what others say a bit of a cool one my only problem was steaming up glasses while sat half in or if you like half out while fitting conduit to the wiring for the lights inner and outer ones and not forgetting the fan for my St Bernard who gets a tad hot sometimes in traffic queues that distresses her quite a lot.
The next step was to hunt hinges out that will work the cat flap the top hinge i hope to use the two holes that are already there from when a safari door was fitted so when i find what i need i am hoping to utilize the safari top hinge and what ever fits the bottom of the cat flap space permitting of course but if not i came across some lovely stainless hinges with grease nipples in the pins now they look nice in my eye's anyway and certainly different which of course i like .
Now for some reason i started to feel the cold so it was down with the garage door and just for a change sort through one of my many small boxes full of landrover trinkets so i dug out one of those plastic boxes that had nice little sectional compartments in it was then i came across some of those small seals that stop water going down the wiper spindals i needed two but found a few more than two but by this time i realized i was getting a tad chilly so called it a day and a good productive day at that
To top my day off i have had a reply from Dan and it was an Oztent two man jobby from what i remember with extra's that might sit over my canopy but i am going to dig it out and see.

Re: Rear canopy
G'day chaps, well again i feel i have to thank Robin&Patrick for allowing me to waffle on about what i get up to and Robin you should be proud of what you have made it has given me a new lease of life although i struggled to start with thanks to Simon who while on holiday came over and got me started measuring cutting and fitting the rear canopy.
As can be seen i have also gone my way and fitted what was originally there back on my home made bracket with stepped stainless tubular spacers so i can keep my work light indicators in another position but can be seen just as well.
My interior electrics are now back working but done a lot better with just the fan to keep my little dog cool all in recycled conduit from scrap Disco's but like i said in my other post tinkering is never done and the frame work for my side awning is next in line what a hobby i would be lost with out it .
Tomorrow well i am having a day out with a friend who is taking me to look at what i hope will be the bases of my wrecker my late father and i were going to build so a change is as good as a rest and all add's to my life i am happy to share with others.

Re: Rear canopy
Thanks guys, i like to do things in a different way to others and my mind seems to be stuck in the sixties era with the flower power days which is kinda cool no violence and at ease with nature that a lot of people take for granted these days.

Re: Rear canopy
G'day Trev, i loved the first part the chick's you refer to couldn't handle my way of life and as you well know the chop is now laid up 200,00 miles later in the same shed it started life with me in 68 next to the panel it fell through while i was playing silly devils .
While i wobbled off in a drunken stupor my late father repaired the said asbestos panel with that black tape they used in the RAF that is still stuck there today .
