Roof Space on PT40

[Tom Warner]

Don on my 1985 PT 40 you could mount my jeep on the roof if you
wanted and that is no joke its that strong.. It has a thick
aluminum diamond plate mounted over the steel roof and covers the
entire top between the goat rails. I have 3 cruise airs so the only
protrusions thru the plate is for the vents, the gally fan and a
couple of small wire antennas. It appears from the specifications on
http://www.vintagebirds.com that the cruise airs and the aluminum plate
were deleted in 1988 and the roof A/C became standard. I am sure
some customers got cruiseairs and the roof plate if they requested
them from BB.

Remember you can always remove one of the A/C, cover the hole and
have plenty of room to mount the antenna on any BB from 1988 on as
well as all of the 1981 thru 1987 with cruiseairs.
