even though he was on holiday he trundled over in his 109 and after a brew promptly set to and took off parts on the rear of the truck that were in the way although they will be fitted in a slightly different place probably tomorrow 
.Luckily the weather was kind to us and in his T shirt he set to measuring up my rear end marked it up dot punched the marks and with the relevant drills and hole cutters set to and did what needed to be done encountering a few issue's but they can be easerly solved by me and my bit of tinkering
.Because i have a headlining in the cab part of my roof the brackets for the lining will have to be lifted a tad so the tubes that the canopy are level and not forced downwards which makes the sliding of the frame work a tad on the stiff side which might eventually ware through {Simon ''Woolen on the forum'' } does not have a lining in the cab of his safari roof that was the difference to mine but like i said will easerly be rectified.
My top tailgate has the number plate stuck to it also a YUGO number plate light each side so the tailgate will not open until the canopy is pulled away from the roof a tad so i will make it so the position i can open the tailgate will correspond to how far the canopy is pushed in that will be permanent but a picture at a later date will help one understand
.On the 88 safari roof with those small alpine windows i will have to make my own support to stop the flexing of the tube the rail slides in but that's only on the 88 the 109 is of course longer and more room to put the supports.
Well all i can say is i am a very happy man now my canopy is fitted and i can see how it was done the only issue's were me and my tinkering i guess coming up with ideas that don't need to be done but i do them because i just love tinkering which does pay off sometimes after i had shown Simon my horn pull switch
.Catch you later Simon it was really appreciated

sometimes anyway.
