Hilux Vigo Aluminium Canopy Dimensions/ CAD Drawings

Post by Dewald Posthumus »

Hi,

Can any of the DIY brigade who already built their own aluminium canopies perhaps share dimensions/ cad drawings/ back of a cigarette box (engineers :D: ) plans?

I am scoping to build one myself and have my measurements in place, but need some sort of sanity check for the sizing. My plans are to build a canopy from the inside dimensions of the load bin as this is the square section, the outer edges are all rounded, and if I check my measurements, they show that the load bin is damn close to being and exact square? Also, from the lack of effort in trying to calculate the slope to the roof of the canopy, some guidance on that would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys!

Goeie dag Dewald

Hoop dit gaan goed. As dit moontlik is kan jy my asb help met die afmetings van die Alu canopy vir n Hilux D4D ?
Ek wil graag self die projek aanpak.

Groete
