    Sorry it's been a while. Cabby been laid up for a number of years with a rotten/ripped hood so decided to replace. Eventually found a great condition 2000 hood off eBay and been trying to fit this weekend. All I would say is refitting is a tricky and time consuming job with two people required to manoeuvre frame into place. Has anyone had experience of doing this? I will go into more detail about the alignment problem with some pictures if someone out there thinks they can help?

    I did the swap with my mate just a month or so ago, certainly a fun job when I am 5 foot six and hes 6 foot 5, was a bit tricky but not that bad.

    Sorry Stuart, I am not very good at responding during the week. Definitely value your input - I will send pics and details at weekend when back in leisure mode!

    No problem pal, just in case you have seen my b6 cab in my avatar, the swap we did was a b4, putting a nice condition full roof from a 2000 w plate onto a 94 L plate, both electric roof models
