heraldcoupe Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Hi Jessica,There aren't bolts as such. Each of the three locating points has a 1/4" stud, secured in the roof by a locknut. The studs protrude through the rear deck and are held by nuts & washers. Getting the angle right for putting studs or bolts up through the deck is going to be pretty difficult, I guess you've already discovered this! It might be easier with over-long studs, then cut them to length afterwards. You may be able to lift the back end enough to get a spanner on to tighten the locknuts, not something I've tried though. Otherwise the roof might have to come off to put in some new studs.The earliest Heralds had bolts at the back, quickly changed to studs in production, presumably to make installation easier.Cheers,Bill.

Richard B Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 While your taking the roof off you might as well change the colour to match the bonnet.Anyone got a spare Herald Saloon Roof in Royal Blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I can do Alpine Mauve (choice of 2), Powder Blue or Black, but nothing here in Royal Blue. Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie70 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 he he her roof is falling off, sorry but it is very scary when suddenly her cds on the back slide under the roof. ali ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Cheers Bill, I had'nt realised there were 3 holes I only saw two (it was dark). The middle one still had the stud, but no nut. After I managed to get that screwed back down I could then get a bold into the other two holes. Jessicas roof is now secure :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I think I meant to say Bolt not Bold and no I don't have a cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
