No metal roof strengthening bows but they do have wooden ones fitted on some westy models?
For the wood panelled headlining...?
For my gentlux pop top opening i fitted a bow at the rear where there was not one!

If you do fancy converting to a pop top, I've an SO42 roof for my bus that I'll be turning back into a tintop - I'll put the hatch opening to one side for you if you like, the lip is in perfect condition, and would sort out your location problems (removing quite a large section, so just line up the curve).
Or just cut your roof off and do a straight swap

Thinking of a pop top on my bus. Did all of you source bay window pop tops. Do they have to be modified much to suit?
