[@MarkGaudie]

Lovely job sir! Bet the customers are super thrilled with how cool it now looks. 👍👍

[@tomtdubz]

Thanks for watching and yes they were, didn’t last long went to a pop top 👌🏻

[@nickpritch3152]

Hat's off to you Tom ....... Just perfect 👍

[@tomtdubz]

Thanks 😊 👍🏻

[@kennethbegley3001]

Nice job Tom .

[@tomtdubz]

Thanks fella 👌🏻

[@cryptobigtoe]

Looks good. Would be useful to see what fixings you used to attach to the ceiling.

[@tomtdubz]

More detailed how to videos coming soon… we used hidden screws.

[@clungebucket23]

Very imformative video as i'm at the beginning of my LWB shuttle conversion. I've ripped out the ceiling which contained a lot of lights and vents. but how do i deal with the junction between the front and rear headliners as the front end of the rear headliner moulds around a series of composite curves...hard to achieve with a replacement ply that only bows in one plane, unless i have to replace the front headliner as well at this juncture / junction 😁

Nice one Bruv 🤙

Hi Tom I would like to build a halo roof for my T6 Kombi. It looked like you made the halo part out of MDF how did you fix that to the roof ? Also what LED kit did you get from Amazon please?

[@tomtdubz]

I used 12mm ply for the led to attach too, fixed that to the roof panel then carpet 12mm for the halo effect panel fixed with hidden screws.. the kit I can’t seem to find but this one from eBay as an example would work www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303901185759?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20190917065201%26meid%3D7768fb717fa7434ab9022bb87c5e1642%26pid%3D100935%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D154556437151%26itm%3D303901185759%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2332490%26algv%3DSimplAMLv9PairwiseUnbiasedWebCpr08MlcGreedyV3KnnRecallV1%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p2332490.c100935.m2460&amdata=cksum%3A3039011857597768fb717fa7434ab9022bb87c5e1642%7Cenc%3AAQAHAAABIArqPmzJfws5bLJj82RQBARS3srM2ZejXM26c6AIQlxSYWTkvrN6WcrmRCFWVqIxiSMqi4CLgWl%252BXWcCNA1JKlZXSRdidSfTKAw%252FPdDZ2oxdusr96nEA6T8ocete8UzVBBhwp9vPT0izClj7U4QTFEkiLiqSYKZeFY7Z4QM2y7OMWFn8hSJdp8ly1NBZBMih%252BokY77RLhuyAMAwywSo5eLDUGvR%252FmMshWev8U0fu5YkRruDlxPwOnmD2HUoaQdHffoln8XMnd8uxXglvnDp41pD57pMg1txJ1nNjCV3f39FOMnKE758zijQt0nOhLoNixI9RZzy0A7Yo424WoVnOz4wpVlxIUht6IlQ21b7y0pAf3Q0W6SOi28%252F5dwEc37lSWA%253D%253D%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2332490

[@neilfordham5790]

Hi Tom where did you pick up the live feed for the lights, I would think it has to be a constant live otherwise it won’t work unless the doors are open ?

[@tomtdubz]

@@neilfordham5790 the van has a leisure battery system installed so ran a new feed for it 👍🏻

[@truckdriver131]

What r they hidden screws??? Just a counter sink tek screws???

[@tomtdubz]

Yeah pretty much, make a little slice in the carpet.. screw in then re stick if needs be…

[@tymchad]

Was the main roof panel a standard 8x4 ply.

[@tomtdubz]

This roof was the original roof using an 60mm off cut of another roof glued an fixed to make a one piece roof

[@Baharrii]

Hey guys. Looking to do the front cab headliner of a caddy. Some shakes to go around so would you still use foam backed or go without? TIA

[@tomtdubz]

I’d go for non foam backed… stretch is a bit better…

[@truckdriver131]

How is headliner not sagging in middle??? Did you use hidden clips to support it???

[@tomtdubz]

Hidden clips in all the original holes 👍🏻

[@PaulCordner]

Hi Guys which shade of grey are you using in the build from Harrison Trim Supplies

[@tomtdubz]

Light grey 👌🏻

[@PaulCordner]

@@tomtdubzthanks. Have you any videos where you have used the dark grey?

[@tomtdubz]

@user-jf6vk8si3z no sorry, the light grey tends to go nicer in my opinion..

[@PaulCordner]

@@tomtdubz would you have a link for the remote controlled RGB strip light

[@alwynmaguire8037]

How did you fix the halos to the roof?. Where did you connect the lights upto in the van?

[@tomtdubz]

The video wasn’t as detailed as planned… the halo was fitted with hidden screws. The lights were power but the existing rear lighting loom..

[@alwynmaguire8037]

@@tomtdubz thanks for getting back to me. I think I know what you mean by wiring into the loom

[@oakandburrow]

That looks great that mate, I’ve been on the trim suppliers there, just wondering what fabric that is? The light grey Suade 2mm foam backed? Thanks, Nick

[@tomtdubz]

2mm foam backed 👍🏻

[@oakandburrow]

@@tomtdubz Thanks Mate, the light grey one? Sorry i know you say it’s the 2mm Suade in your vid. The halo looks even better after rewatching mate!

[@tomtdubz]

@@oakandburrow yeah the grey is 2mm foam backed 👍🏻

[@WSMK-oz6ru]

What bed do they have in their Kombi?

[@tomtdubz]

Thanks for watching, they have a forty winks frame, we relocated the hinges to allow them to lift the rear section 👌🏻

[@gandhi1078]

Do you sell them rear speaker boxes?

[@tomtdubz]

Yeah we do, contact me on Instagram and we can sort something out 👍🏻@tom_tdubz

[@foxmulder6972]

Finished roof looked great but the crucial part of fixing the halo was missed out. 🙄🙄

[@tomtdubz]

Fixed with hidden screws in the carpet into the roof supports. Yep that bit is missing 🙈

[@ronniemack8795]

Hi tom. I would like you to do a couple of jobs on my t5.1 and was wondering if you could help me and also could i have your contact details as i cant seem to find you on the internet 🤔
