Ok boys as you know I purchased a new canopy on the weekend,
Now just to let you know when I was fitting the canopy I found that when I placed it on the tub there were a couple of lumps of fibreglass on the bottom of the canopy where it sits on the tub, in turn making it not sit flat on the sides of the tub so some work is required to make them sit flat.
I just got the 4” grinder out and gave it a little clean up so it would sit a little better, there was still a couple of gaps about 2 – 3mm along the sides between the tub and canopy.
As I have a J deck tub I was unable to use the brackets supplied so a few measurements later I worked out where to drill some holes for bolting it down., I then drilled 4 holes down each side to bolt it down, I used 8mm x 40mm S/S bolts.
Also supplied was some rubber strip and a silicone to place on the top of the tub to seal it. I used the rubber but not the silicone. All worked out fine so far.
The gaps all pulled down nice and firm once all bolted down. . . .
Now I’m a very happy Hilux owner with a canopy. . . . .
