I started ripping out the wooden "headliner" in the van. Do you remember what looked like screwheads on the top of my roof? Well I found about 7 wooden 2X2 crossbraces screwed in from the roof! I'll fill it in when I get my welder home.
My question is: can someone post pics of what the roof supports are supposed to look like? The roof is smooth with that "H" shape. How are they secured to the top rails? How much of a gap is left between the cross support and the roof skin? AND would I just bend sheetmetal around a wooden template to fabricate new supports?
Thanx,
P.S. - just for laughs, I'll add a pic of the mess i'm dealing with when I can get it out of my camera... until then, I hope you can just take my word for it!
