I used to have one of those spoilers on my van, would suggest caution in fitting one as they tend to hold water on the roof in the troughs if stored outside and this small swimming pool caused my roof to rust as well as the gutters. If the earthquakes hadn't stuffed my scanner I could show you the photos of the damage. When I was considering keeping it was looking into moulding tubes into spoiler to allow water to drain and not to fill the gutters with bog to tidy up the edge. Just food for thought if you want the job to last and not rust your van.

Cheers Jeff

Was it something like this? We used to call it a Bobtail.

(http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d16/Rogue1234/Roof.jpg)

I got mine from Foxton Fibreglass many years ago. They call themselves Aerotech now and are based in Christchurch.

http://www.aerotech.co.nz/index.shtml (http://www.aerotech.co.nz/index.shtml)

They don't have any Bedford parts listed anymore however they say give them a ring if something isn't listed so it might be worth a shot They might still have an old mold kicking around.

Following on from CfJeff's comments, I had the rear gutter removed on mine. The Bobtail was then fastened to the roof with a layer of urethane sealant around the contact edges and it was then riveted into place. There are 20mm holes drilled in the roof at the bottom of the fitting to allow for air expansion and allow any moisture to escape. Mine has been on the van for about 18 years now and no sign of any problems.

Hi Mate
 
Try these guys, several months ago I made some queries with them regarding flares, I do remember seeing some photos of the bobtail spoiler for sale with them.
Worth a shot.
