Pop-Top Roof Bed Hinges

I have been reading articles on this forum for a short while, I now joined and I have a question if anyone can help.
I bought a T6 recently with a pop top roof already fitted.
I now want to add a roof bed to my van.
I would like a favour from someone please, could someone please post/send a photo of the hinges that they have fitted to their roof bed. I can then see the size of the hinges and location of the fitment etc.
I have already located the pop top bed board struts online from "transporter HQ", although I am yet to purchase the struts until I have a clear picture of it all.
Alternatively if someone has a link to the hinges fitted online I will purchase that way.
Thanks in advance.
 
I had mine fitted they didn’t use a piano hinge and has came of twice so far… toolstation & screw fix hinges only look suitable for doll house repairs!
 
I used piano hinge for mine. I did a bi-fold bed to give extra headroom. LWB van.
I used these struts from sgs: GS6-15-260-300 Fixed Force Gas Strut
And I used Mk4 golf boot struts as the fixed bar at the front.

That looks great, did you just screw the rear small section down into the poptop chassis directly?

Yes, I put in that piece to create a storage area upstairs when the bed is up. It also allowed the bed to get closer to the roof so that there was good headroom downstairs during the day.

Hi @paddy26, please can you tell me what you used to fix the rear small section to the chassis? Thanks

2 screws into the support frame on either side. And I think I put one bracket in the middle at the rear, connected to the rear support frame.
