Roof to Tub Bolts With Puma Cappings
To complete my 90's tub conversion to the bulkhead removal bar I've bought the cappings without the bulkhead extensions, which I've galvanised.

However, they seem to be minus the holes through which the roof sides bolt down onto the tub at both rear corners. As my old ones had these, I'm assuming this is a specific thing to the cappings without bulkheads.

Can anyone clarify (or provide pictures) of how the roof/tub attachment is on vehicles without the bulkhead? Obviously this only applies to factory vehicles, not conversions. One life - get one.

I have been trying to work this out also. I need some new tub cappings and wanted to go galvanised. I looked at YRM and they supply either the cappings with bulkhead and the 'usual' holes for the side panels to fit in or the cappings without the bulkhead and no holes to take the side panel bolts.

I bought mine direct from LR and had them dipped, so it's not going to be an OEM balls up either.

The weird thing is that a vehicle without the bulkhead has to have a roof, so there must be a resolution to this. One life - get one.
