Be a man haha I have no heater blower/controls anyways so the heater matrix is usless anyways, just wanted to find out more info before I pulled it out, good to hear tho you and iain had no issues so stay tuned.

Question to Iain or anyone that knows....do you need to removed the strenghtening beam behind the dash to remove the full heater matrix or does it slip past?

Thanks lads
Daniel

Gonna get another tube of tiger-seal tommorrow so i can cover the inside of the blanking plate more and i beleave that'll seal the fuker 100%.

Looks abit messy on top but function over form :D It'll be getting booked in to have the roof wrapped in black vinyl once she's back on the road so it wont matter then anyways.

Cheers

looks good dan, and the vinyl will add another layer of water protection to the sunroof area (and uv protection for the tigerseal too), not that i think you'll need it like as it looks like you've done a cracking job!
 
I would be chopping off all those studs that are pointing down next

I would also get some thin strips of metal to put up inside the lip of the plate to spread the force of the bolts you are using :)
 
lighter and lighter big boy, it makes me sad but happy at the same time that this car keeps getting better, you is doing it justice bro... love you
 
Thank you for all your nice comments lads :D

Thanks mate, that's my thoughts exactly :) won't be smooth smooth where it's covers the blank but once again function over form, and I'm shore it'll look great :D (fingers crossed lol)

Do you mean the studs coming of the roof or the extra bit of the bolts sticking out where iv fixed the blank in place?

I'd did think about removing all the studs and other little bits but as one day I'm shore I may have to sale altho it'll be in many years I hope, I'd like to be able to take it back to standard if needed to, altho there is still loads of areas that are still to be lightend i.e. Battery, poly carb windows, heater matrix ect, all those will be coming soon. ;)

I've heard you fill holes very well, as long as they are small ones..!

I was thinking some sort of blanking plate for the inside, maybe get your man to flock a piece of fibreglass or summat?
 
I mean all the bolts and studs that the sun roof would have been bolted too.

you could end up with some nice holes in your head otherwise.

and as for returning it to standard to sell it..... wheres the point in that who on earth is gonna want to buy an N15 in a few years,its a track car mate, you made my day already saying that... I lawled

also if you havnt I would get poly bushes for the rear beam they transform the car.

Only a few ounces though...

It'd tidy it up a treat I reckon, that way you can be as generous with the sealing as you like.


You could maybe even stretch out a fabric roof liner...


But I suppose it depends on how tidy you want it to look :winkiss:
