Mounting canopy to ute.

G'day Kev

They used hard as nails poly shims on mine, though I can't see why you couldn't use high density rubber for a bit of give. Your situation sounds a tad odd. Any chance they didn't line up very well originally resulting in transverse loads on the mounts, as well as vertical?

Kevin,
I assume you are talking about a full canopy bodythat mounts direct ont vehicle chassis not just a lift off canopy mounted on a tray
I would agree with last post ,it could be transverse forces caused by incorrect alignment of mounts or maybe?? flexing of the nissan chassis.
I personally know several people who have cracked their nissan chassis rails.
I would just put a bit of hd converor belt between the mounts to allow for some movement. easier to replace when worn then having to reweld aliminium mounts.
cheers

Hi All,

After a lot of reading/research I came conclusion that problem was being caused by the chassis wanting to flex and the canopy not allowing it. We have been over some very rough country. So, have repaired crack and fitted HD springs to the front mounts to allow movement. Sorry, as I'm not financial can't upload photos
