What did you replace the unti with and how did you hold it in place?

Is this for a track car then, if it is I'd consider riveting an aluminium sheet over the opening if you didn't want to weld it up properly.

I cut a section of roof the same colour from another mk3 and sealed/riveted in place.


Its weight high up so worth the loss.
