Yay welcome back nobby

I should be able to help on this as I removed a Devon roof a few years back!!! from what I recall the bellows are held on at the bottom by metal strips that are screwed the frame work

Are you looking remove from the top (plastictop side) or the bottom (van side). Be carful when removing I gaffa taped the springs up as your top may keep going up if you've got good springs.... I have to remove my devon top off of mine and will be putting another on.. so if you wanna come over and give me a hand to remove my roof (as I don't care how much it gets destroyed) so you can see how best to remove yours then feel free.

Thanks for reminding me to go and pick my other poptop up !! hope mate still has it as I said must have been 2 years ago at least I removed it off a bus he was scrapping !!

What's the plan for new bus engine wise ?
