I purchased one as a spare, I'm due to replace all the fittings on mine and was concerned it wouldn't take much to cause it to shatter. Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

superdavelotus 123 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 I used to supply the Cf roofs moulded from a glass roof. I gave my mould to PNM Engineering. This was moulded from a Stevens galss roof. The G car is slightly flatter ad the front corners. I reckon it's a 98% match but corners will dip in a bit. These cost about Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
