Default Roof Vent Fitting

Alright folks,

Looking to fit a roof vent to the track car so I can throw away the heating etc.

Problem is- I have seen a few fitting guides and it looks to me that the fittings for the vent mechanism fit to the part shown in the below picture??

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=imp...r:77,s:0,i:315

We ripped this piece off when fitting the roll cage!!

Can anyone confirm this and/or reccomend somewhere that I can pick one of these pieces up?

I am thinking I can find a way to attach this without any welding- something I will look into as it was only a couple of small spot welds and sealant/tiger seal stuff that held it on in the first place?

Any advice or words much appreciated!

Cheers,
Chris

Have a look at this excellent guide http://www.frayz-engineering.com/blog/?page_id=87

That part seems to be removed and a new bracket added.

However this is for a newage, classics may be different. Try contacting Frayz

Ok, I see - so this is the bracket I need:

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=cla...93,s:100,i:283

Where can I source one of these and how can I fix it to the roof without spot welding? Would Tiger Seal be up to the job?
