16" westy. or not.

It would be a lot of work and prone to some serious problems if you did'nt do it properly.

You have got to remove the westy roof, all them spot welds in the rain gutter without making a mess. Then remove the roof from the syncro with the same care. Assuming you do all that without problems you then have to weld it all up and make it water tight as such because of the rain gutters. Personally i think its to much work when there is the element of risk with water ingress and damage when removing so many spot welds. Westfalia made a westy roof for vans that left the factory with tin tops, there called mosaic conversion kits. Dont be tempted to fit a factory camper roof to a tin top as the bed system wont work properly and you'll end up with a homemade bed system in it or have to do some major alterations of the tin top to make it work.

So you have two choices cut the hole roof of a factory westy and hope you get it right or wait for a mosiac conversion kit to appear and snap it up. The mosaic kit has it difficulties when fitting it as i found out when i did it to my syncro, but is easier than cutting a complete roof off and fitting it to another van.

Thats my pennys worth anyway.

ah, syncro westy or westy syncro that is the question.

will look in to these mosaic conversions.

ta lee.

I would either look for a mosaik roof, or a reimo roof as both are designed to convert normal tin tops.

As stated, it's a lot of serious work to fit a Westy roof properly.
