It came from Dara at Tuff-Trek, they happened to have a shipment due in in a few weeks after first contacting him with a couple of roofs still available so worked out nicely!
Don’t think you can buy direct, all EU sales come via Genesis in Germany I believe, the Alu-Cab EU importer. 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html 2014 Discovery 4 SE Tech Instagram @the110camper |

Decided to fit 130 helper springs to help with the constant load.

Haha! Yes indeed, definitely better when you start bolting bigger bits on

New windscreen frame fitted, vent flaps on and engine bay pretty much complete.
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Work starts on the rear tub now. Not in bad shape just needs bit of straightening to both side rear panels and a new offside corner capping.

Very nice work done there db950
One question, on your servo, the vacum pipe is on the bottom left hand side, is there any reason for this as mine is on the top right hand side  1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

Thank you
Not sure about the servo pipe, I’ve replaced the master cylinder but not moved the servo so it’s in the same place it was. Maybe it has been replaced in the past and was put on 180 degrees out? 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html 2014 Discovery 4 SE Tech Instagram @the110camper |

Strange one that, always thought that the servo had to be put/fixed with the vacum pipe at the top right, thanks for the reply
