Hi All, I am going to be fitting polished safaris to my bus. Yes, I know that they are non-original!! Since I have had to replace the whole front screen frame I currently have access to the back-side of the top of the window frames. I understand OE safaris have a backing plate in there to screw into. I also appreciate some people don't bother with it, but given mines open I thought I would.
My question is, can I buy the backing plate on its own? If not does anyone have the dimensions and maybe I make them? Any other thoughts or suggestions welcome.

Hi Mate,
I made some up when I did my bus unfortunately I didn't take any dimensions but I found as I had stainless steel polished safaris I had to modify the window frame a bit to have them fit with perfect gaps. If you already have the safaris it may pay to dry fit to see what your gaps are like - just a suggestion.
Cheers
Pete

Yea just been doing some research, might be a bit of a long shot to be able to fit them accurately until i have the actual Safaris which I don't yet. I guess its no biggie I will just leave off the cover panels until later. Just would have liked to have finished it all off. Thanks all for the help.

I’ve got a pair of the CE safaris here, you could always borrow them to make your plates and get them set up.
