The Autodeck from Muds will match perfectly with the dash, You can then hide an Alpine somewhere under.

Saw this bus this morning, looks very good. Well done Diedrich

I imported some parts including these brackets and straps. Very disappointing. The metal is so thin and flimsy in comparison to the original (on the left) I am going to use the rubber bits of the new part and combine it with the metal of the old ones. The brackets also bolt on differently and the catch of the bracket sits on the wrong place.

thats just a generic item that they sent you
hope you didnt pay too much for it

They don't make them like they use to,I have used the crap you get here on my T3 camper and they last about a month then they perish and break.
It should be quite easy to make your brackets but the rubber part is the problem.
Hope you get sorted.

Didi years ago I use to get all my stuff from Mc Naughtans 011 3341630,but I have not used them for years try them as you can get chrome ones if you prefer,look at their site Mcnautans.co.za under bonnet fasteners.or Google them,they have every thing you need for canopy's and more.

Hi Tony,

I paid a bit of school fees on this one: Pop-Top Clamp [63-73 Bus] Part #: 231-068-013A Our Price: $16.95 (and I bought 3) I feel they should not post a VW part number if it's a generic product.

The same quality is available at my local trailer spares shop for R80 each

see if they have a comment section below the item and write a crap review.

I got these pop-top clamps from a supplier in the States. The packaging is from a well known supplier in the UK. That is a good idea. I will write a little review.

Nothing like a bit of pressure to kick the project into overdrive. I fitted the poptop today as I want to take the bus to Vaalplasie over this coming weekend.

Looking nice Didi!

That looks cool
