Hey Todd,

Don't have any of the the parts that you need, But it is good to see you back on here. I was really starting to get worried. I had tried to contact you a couple of times, but to no avail. Good to see you are alright.

Todd,
When I needed one for my 9 I just got a sheet of aluminum cut to the right size and took 3 ratchet straps hooked them on the bottom of the bus and started riveting in the center working towards the outside and just kept ratcheting it down around the curve and riveted down. It worked really well I was surprised. Good Luck Jason

Thanks for the replies guys.  I'm ok on the sheet metal, it's the factory ribbing and framing I'm interesting in getting.  I've got a 5c with the skylights in it, as much as I love the looks, they are not in the plan for a conversion.  And the rounded sides of these older coaches don't lend themselves well to a side-aisle layout.  So I plan to match the front cap's 8-9 profile, all the way back, then with a RM rear straight rear cap.  Anyone know of N unused rear RM cap around?  She'll be a convertible for awhile at least!


Maybe I'll try MCI to see if they have any old stock?  Hey, come on, it's worth a shot!

Sorry if I missed anyone's attempts at contact in the last couple years, I did a life reboot and restored the factory settings.

Todd,

I figure you would have already checked with Sam, but if not....http://www.caylorsupply.com/

He probably has a better chance of having it then MCI.

FWIW

Thanks John, I actually just got a call back from Sam and bought a 9 roof.

So, mission accomplished!  Well, the easy part at least..
