Wood Roof Kit - 1927 Tudor

Post by Banjoe » Sun Mar 17, 2024 6:02 pm

I have purchased a wood roof kit for our 1927 Tudor but have come up with some questions before being able to move ahead with the assembly and installation.

Do I treat the raw wood to preserve it?

Is there any preparation needed on the steel body parts where the wood is to sit?

What fasteners do I use to put it together and also to hold it down to the steel body?

Is there a bedding / sealant material that should be used between the wood and the body metal?

Seemed like a simple process but I don't want to get it wrong by missing critical steps.

Many thanks for any thoughts,

Joe

Here’s an earlier post on the wood install on the Tudor

Thank you for this link, Dan. It's a great start on ending my confusion and, hopefully, getting the roof on right.
