Roof mouldings for a Freeway

I have been unsuccessful so far, in my hunt for a Bedford Freeway. However, I am the current high bidder on a cf1 on eBay! ..... Still a few days to go. I was wondering about converting the top to the dormobile top as shown here:

https://www.google.co.uk/search?sclient=tablet-gws&site=&source=hp&q=bedford+cf+freeway&oq=bedford+cf+freeway&gs_l=tablet-gws.3..0i22i30k1l2.1854.6986.0.7504.18.17.0.0.0.0.727.2798.0j8j2j1j6-1.12.0....0...1c.1.64.tablet-gws..6.12.2795...0j0i131i46k1j46i131k1j0i8i13i30k1.pxT7X-prxgQ#imgrc=D2FB4jFHplPYlM:

Is this possible and is there anywhere to get hold of the front roof moulding? I can get hold of a roof but no front bit. It had a rack on it. Fond memories of watching Vulcans and Spitfires on deck chairs on that roof rack!

Any ideas?

Thanks

Machone

Dormobile Roof

Hi Guys,
I've got a 72 Dormobile which I initially bought for spares not knowing it was a Dormobile conversion. Since then I had the idea of getting another van with a better body (this one is totally rotten) and put the Dormobile roof on it.
I have the front section and know a couple of people who make fibre glass car parts etc. I can find out how much it would be to get a mould made of it and then make a few if the interest is there.
I wouldn't want to sell just the front part of the Dormobile roof. Dormobile still exist and are not to far from me in Romsey/Hampshire. I might even contact them to see if they would be interested in remaking them as they still make the pop up roofs for VW Splits and Bays and Land Rovers.
Cheers Frank

I've spoken to Dormobile and asked if they still have the moulds for the CF pop up roof and front part, but they don't.
If there is enough interest than they may consider getting a mould done for the front, but they would need mine as they don't have any part like it anymore. I offered it to take the mould from.
However because of the cost to make the mould they would need a few definite orders to make it worth it so don't expect it to be a £50 item.
Let me know if there is interest.
Cheers Frank
