Hi John, Eddie added a beam across the back of the roof. I believe it is a foam core and overlaid with glass fibre. I am sure he would give you details if you wanted to do the same. The wiring was laid in and I added the lights for the rear afterwards in both cars. Mine has a slightly different arrangement than Colin’s, giving me a fore and aft style fitting. Colin's is across the car. Fun with glass fibre! It can be whatever you want. Of course it needs to be added with the rear screen in to get the right shape.
