Anybody know who was doing the roof sockets, the ones the front of the roof clips into.
Thanks

Phillpot. But I think they were stainless (what else? )

You need a guy called Leigh Jones on FaceBook. His business is Autobarn Engineering

Thanks Mike found him

One question, Leigh did ask if mine had been modified, I don't have the old ones so was there a standard and a modified and how do you tell them apart.
Thanks as I know someone might just have fitted these.

I found an old socket in the roof hoop, this will not fit any of the front roof holes. Question is are they or should they be different sizes, the front ones are 13mm deep and the back ones are 18mm deep. East to Dremel out the front ones I guess.

I have a set that i've never fitted if anyone is interested

[Alan Whitaker]

Will have them if you are not going to use them, just let me know details

Just posted on FBuck linking to them.

My sockets on the S and Wedge were the same front and back.

The back ones on mine won't fit the front, will after the Dremel has been inside the hole, New ones shiny arrived today so I can fit tomorrow.
