Does any of you good people have any info regarding the construction of the Duetto GRP roof, are there any hidden reinforcements etc...?
I'm thinking of mounting some roof rails to carry a kayak.

I don't know the Duetto specifically, but the Flair that I owned (based on a 1999 SWB Transit) had a very substantial roll-over bar - roughly 2" diameter - hidden within the roof structure. I would be very surprised if the Duetto does not have something similar.

Thanks for your replies, I have found an old AS factory photo with a Duetto just about to have it's roof put on, it shows where the metal reinforcements are. It's in one of the sections above(AS magazine).
