Title: Any high top sammis out there?
Post by: the rat on November 16, 2005, 01:15:32 PM

Just wondering if anybody has a high top version? I've recently bought a 95 model which was imported from Norway in 98. I'm having a nightmare finding a roof window for one as they were never produced in the uk.
Just wondering if anybody has one or knows what countrys they were sold in?  :)

When I needed a window for an old camper van I went to a boat specialist. They can usually make any kind of window.

I make heaps of boat and one off type screens from Acrylic (plexiglas).

You can just roll or shape a piece of sheet metal about 1.6 mm thick to the shape you want then line it with polyester cloth (like sweet shirt material) heat your sheet to 135 to 140 degrees C and lay it on it. Done - easy aye !

I saw heaps of Hi tops in bali and Thailand a few months ago when I was there but I wouldn't like your chances of exporting one from there, I'd try Suzisport in Aussie as they got some hi tops over there too they might be able to help.

Thanks for the input  ;)

I've emailed suzisport to see if they can source me one, if thats a no no then i'm off to find a boat builder  :)

Getting a bit tired of looking at the gaffer tape all up the side of my van  ;D
