Graham,
Can I ask about the hard top?
Never had one apart.
The roof panel to lower panels seam, is there a discrete seal between or is the panel seam sealed with a liquid (silicone) type sealer?
If a seal, are they readily available?
Reason I'm asking is that I will be stripping mine down sometime soon and would like to fully strip, paint and reseal the hardtop.

I'm pretty certen all the seals are easy to buy as i will be needing a full set for mine when i get there, i always use silicon on the roof to sides, sides to tub, roof to screen frame and screen frame to bulkhead just something i've always done when fitting new seals, Paddocks or ebay are good places to buy

Hi Graham
Nice to see you are cracking on with your Landy restoration and at least you have the weather for it.
I did the Haystee front disc conversion on mine along with the Santana brake servo.
