Framework on inside of FRP top

Post by cjdeane10 »

Hi does any one have any photo's of roll bars/pipework support on the inside of the fibreglass removable top (swb zook)? :?:

I was going to put some roof racks on the removable hardtop, and wanted to brace it with some barwork.

I suppose i will use the same size tube as the EXo (see other posts)

Note: Will need to be able to remove the top and leave the pipework behind (so the pipework can be permanent-fixture if this is easier)

The FRP top will support more weight than you would want to put on the roof of a Zuk anyway ... so long as you roof racks have some load spreaders. No need for an interior frame.,

Oh, Okay.

A mate has a hilux ute with the back canopy with the internal framework - thought that the science would apply for the zuk aswell.

Will only be for chucking the swags on - not anything super heavy.

I will play with the pipebender on the weekend - and see if i can match something up - may make the framework into a flash rollcage so that it will look good without the FRP top on (rather than square tube, like in my mates hilux!)

Will post pics if/when i get round to it!
