Sunroof clamp rail - Tiger - 03-11-2021
Hello people
Could anyone help with the dimensions of a sunroof rail for my Ruby.
Also which metal would be best suited to make one myself ?
For some reason I was looking for aluminium ?
Regards to all
Tim
Just to clarify it’s the clamping rail I need

I think , I think that it was chromium plated brass. If memory serves me it was cast but I’m sure that one could be made of brass angle . 3/4”. Hope this helps

Tim, when the sun comes up and the frost has thawed I will happily go out and measure and photograph Ruby sunroof details. Exactly which bit do you want to know about?

Actually it may have Mazak or as the yanks call I Kazam

The originals were chrome-plated cast brass. Austin Reproduction Parts make an equivalent in stainless steel, although it's not an exact replica.

Early ones may have been brass, all the later RP saloons, ARQ, ARR Rubies and the CRW Big Seven that I have owned have has cast Mazak rails. They break with monotonous regularity.
