Is there a plate you can buy that you weld/revit (sp) yourself or have you got to fabricate one, if you have to fabricate one what have most people people used?

Alloy etc how thick?

what have you guys used to hold it in place?

Pics appricated

Cheers

Peice from the middle of a bonnet should have a good contour to it. Rivet it on & use tiger seal between the sheets.

Yeah, but then if you go Australian there's a chance you'll get showered with shards of broken glass. Plus removing it saves a little weight.

What about looking for a scrap nova and chopping a section of the roof skin off to cover the sunroof hole?
