Top cupboards with a tintop?

I have two of the mini top (smaller) cupboards fitted to my Bongo at the moment (an AFT) from ACE Campers IIRC.

If I were to change to a tintop (currently thinking that one over) could I refit the cupboards into the new van? They are currently fitted using screws 'down from above' along with a self-made bracket attached to the screw hole that the grab handle was originally in. I am not sure the bracket on its own would be enough to support the weight or keep it level.

Does anyone have experience of fitting similar to a tin top?

Thanks for any info.

I asked about this when I had a tintop and was told they don't fit very well.

Thanks. Someone on FB suggested the roof is a different shape, so they won't fit.

If you're planning to remove and refit them into the new van, why not remove them any way and see if they fit. If they do, it's win-win, if they don't you can always sell them through the small ads on here or fleabay them. The only concern would be their impact on the already somewhat limited headroom, but that might be trial and error, plus what works for you.
