Hi all
My Merc van was built for the Norwegian police for the 1994 winter olympics in Lillehammer. One of the skylights blew open and broke and I cannot fin a replacement from any usual supplier. There is no manufacturer name or number on it. Outside dimension is 54x47cm, cutout size is 50x43 (enough for a skinny policeman to escape) Any ideas?
Thanks
Bruce

Could you not just enlarge the hole, or restrict the hole with a blanking panel to reduce the size to fit a more common hatch? I used a 3mm stainless plate to reduce the size of the aperture on my truck to fit a couple of Lewmar Ocean hatches.
 
Blanking

Hi Nick

Thanks for the link, never come across them before. I could do some cutting or blanking, but a lot quicker just to stick on a new lid, 'tho as this has proved, it's probably worth investing in proper marine quality.

Just read some of your blog, good stuff.
Thanks
Bruce
