GRP Hi Top for 1983 Autosleeper

Please does anyone know of a currently available GRP hi top made for a modern van that would fit (or could be adapted easily to fit) a 1983 Autosleeper panel van to replace the original pop-top ? Failing that, does anyone out there know of a Sheldon or similar CF hi top I could lay hands on ?
Many thanks

Hi Top

There is a hi-top currently being advertised on ebay with a starting bid of £50.
Can't give you a link 'cause I don't know how to! Look under Bedford cf, newly listed.

Thanks Martin - these very rarely come up ! Unfortunately that Dormobile top looks too low to give decent headroom in the van for a six footer..... I've been used to the Sheldon after-market hi-top which is about twice as high and gives a great feel to the CF interior.
If there's anyone in the club in the GRP business who'd make a mould out of a Sheldon I reckon quite a few CF owners might be interested !

if you look at that top closely you will find that's its about 2' or just over in height
going from the height of them 20ltr drums which are 18" in height.

you will have plenty of room for a six footer to stand up with that on top of the Beddy roof-rails.
the Beddy roof line is about 5'6"

and the beauty of that roof is you wont need to change your rear doors as its got a flip up section allowing you easy extra access
