Hard lid with tub liner??

[loveit]

Hi guys im looking for a hard lid for the d22 but i have an over the rail tub liner that i like because it protects the rim of the tub

Has anyone fitted a hardlid with one of those tubliners?

Many thanks

I am about to try. Can anyone help us out please?

Like this you mean?

 

[Dad Tripper]

Just like that champ!

Just a little tip. I've cut a piece of board to size which fits in the grooves about where the end of the struts are. This stops my tool box and compressor sliding all over the place.

Could you possibly post up a pick of how you have mounted the hinges please?

I have one and it was a bit of a pain to fit. I bought my hardlid secondhand and they warp and carry on over time, so that could be part of it also.
It doesn't sit right near the sports bar rear mounts and I had to modify them a bit to get them to fit reasonably.

Here you go. I didn't fit it , it was on it when I bought it. But it's pretty simple. The tub liner has just been cut around the hinges.bit hard to see, this iPad doesn't have a flash, so I had to use a torch.

Awesome, thanks for the photos

Well I put mine on yesterday, and I tell ya what, it was hard work! My Nissan lid didn't want a bar of the tub liner at all and the following photos will show you to what extent the chopping had to go to. It will give you a good idea of the process anyway.
Looks the goods now but I still need to buy some gas struts and attach the strut mount. Can anyone help me for the measurements for the mount on the tub for the strut and strut part number please.

 

[Dad Tripper]

Finished product shots. I was very happy with these joints, well the whole job actually

 

[Dad Tripper]

Well I have done a little more work on it the other day, installing the locks for lid. I used a dremil tool to cut them out.

Also I would like some help with the struts. Can someone please tell me the lenght of the struts and the measurement of the mount point for the strut too. Thanks in advance.

And what is this clip thingie supposed to do with the hardlid?

 

[ShortyNavros]

The clip thingy holds the hinge joint together, so the hinge rod piece doesn't fall out. See pics in this thread. http://www.navara.asia/showthread.php?t=9230

Thanks heaps Shorty, you may have saved the lid from impending doom.

Any help with the struts would be greatly appreciated.
