Nope - long story cut short - used to have an original steel sunroof (tilt and slide). When I converted it for more track less road I stuck a couple of fixed bucket seats in on the original sliders - fine untill I went to sit in it with a helmet on when I had to have my head tilted at 45 deg..... So I lowered the seats, tilted them back and still hadn't got enough head room.

So I removed the original sunroof and stuck a flip up glass one in the hole - it coming out soon - sheet of steel, sikaflex and pop rivets will fill the hole after removal

Lolling at the time you let me drive round Marham with my head in the apperture!!

Funny I'd almost forgotten that till you reminded me - I'm sure I've a picture of that somewhere - should have put a bubble in the roof for you

Last proper outing was at Prescott for a Hill Climb

Yeah despite weight loss it's still a boat

So now it's on a real diet
