Marcos Maniacs

Mike,

 

The Marcos sunroof is a cut down Triumph Herald.  I have just had a new one
modified.  The steel rails at fron and back are standard.  The front one has
a slot in the middle to allow the roof to latch onto it.  The rear one
simply gives some rigidity.

 

The side rails are held on with Brass spoke nipples cut down.  It is a
tedious job to fit!!

Thanks for the input... so far my car seems to be the only one with this
support so I guessing that it was installed by the previous owner.

Subject: [MarcosManiacs] Roof/sun roof support

 

I am in the process of making my 1966 Marcos 1800 GT into a dedicated,
racing only car. I have removed the sun roof and found two steel contoured
supports under the fabric headliner. One of the supports is immediately in
front of the sun roof and the other is immediately behind the sun roof
(running from side to side). My question is, are these supports original
from the factory to re-enforce the roof (there are not bonded to the roof)
or were they added by a previous owner when the sunroof was installed to
re-enforce the sun roof. They are not part of the Britax sun roof factory
hardware. I have posted a picture of the two supports in the photo section
under Mike Denman. Obv! iously you would know if your car had these supports
if you have ever had your headliner removed But you can also feel these
supports through the fabric headliner. I would appreciate any feed back on
whether other cars have these supports (please include year and model of
car).
