stokie Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Not long I can make them at work as we have got the machinery to fold them up ready for welding . They are 700mm x 700mm which is the perfect size to move around in and it fits between the outer strengthening bar on the defender roof . It is only 25mm high so you can still fit under most height barriers should you need to . It has a folded return at the top to prevent the rain from being forced in whilst driving . It then has a foam seal to keep the wind out and is held down by four wingnuts in the corners Its a great addition to any shooting truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
