Taking a break on the awning project to start and finish the topper mods to the M100. Painted the top today with the hammered silver and it looks passable but not really good. I am a but dissapointed with the look so no photos to look at. I am in the process of painting the trailer the same color as the 80 and am thinking it might look ok that color.
These photos are of some hinges I fabbed up for the topper. After looking in a bunch fo places for ready made, I really couldnt find any that worked with the way I made the topper so I decided to make my own. I bought a pin fron the hardware along with some washers and that clip. I welded some flat stock to a couple pieces of 1' od, 1/2" id tube that I cut to a length I thought would work well. There is no play or wobbble with the washers in place and I think it will be plenty tough for supporting the topper. They are not painted or welded in place yet because it is time for bed and te back is killing me tonight. I will, of course, post some photos of the finished project when the trailer is painted and the gas struts are in. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome as usual.
