Mathew Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Seen them on a car but mine is one of those glass flip up ones . I think they were after market and don't remember seeing them in a parts book or workshop manual. Bet pete knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 a couple of useful webasto/britax places have closed down you could call these may help https://www.bristolsunroofs.co.uk/sunroofspares.php the maker is normally on a label adjacent to the lock in the front frame theres a lot of webasto that are britax and a lot of britax that are webasto its a common mix up /guesswork Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) I have a 70's Britax that I never fitted (the metal,black painted handle on it folds flat). It's partially dismantled, so can take a look, if yours same?. Edited April 22, 2021 by daverclasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody2000 Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi Colin I have misplaced the handle and can’t find it at the moment but have taken photos of the surround and handle hole that’s all I have at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274783904655?hash=item3ffa65a38f:g:C1MAAOSwzV5gcIuN Britax Weathershield according to this poster; he's remaking the surrounds so might even make the handles too? Might be worth a try. However: am I close with this one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174753471780?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143132%26meid%3Df016fe4c423b4f3fba742629db15611b%26pid%3D101198%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D294108527349%26itm%3D174753471780%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLCvipPairwiseWebWithBBEV2bDemotion%26brand%3DWebasto&_trksid=p2047675.c101198.m1985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody2000 Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi Colin I have checked and think mine is smaller 30mm inner with a step and 40 mm across where as the Webasto one is 50mm across but very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi Woody, Have PM'ed a reply about the photo's that may be useful, though I think mines different?. Would it be worth contacting the few folk who restore and fit these to see if they could at least ID it from your photo's, and may have a the part?.

Woody2000 Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Sorry Dave can’t see the photos I have emailed Bristol sunroofs with the photos what’s so annoying is that somebody I know would remake the handle out of steel instead of aluminium but can’t find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody2000 Posted May 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 GOOD NEWS found the bloody thing can now post pictures and pass onto friend to remake one in steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
