I want to fix a bracket with self tappers to the roof of my Tin Top just behind the high level rear heater, there are two metal skins at this point but I dont want to drill into something I should`nt be drilling into or if there is something running here like wires, see picture, location arrowed.

I would, after checking for wiring coming up the channels on either side of the door frames and by the back heater vents.

my tintop doesnt look like that surely its an aft.

Tin Top... with after market roof

Any news,

yes, after very carefully prizing a section of the headlining down I saw a small allready inserted self tapping bolt, so decided to go for it, using the smallest drill I had with a depth limiter on I drilled the hole so that I did`nt go further than the thickness of the metal, then I poked a smaller metal wire into the hole to feel if there was any thing inside, it did`nt feel as if there was and it was about 50mm further up to the original roof. I have now screwed a little right angle bracket into the holes which is going to be for suspending part of the little cubby type overhead cupboard I am going to make,to house light items such as teabags/coffee, kitchen towels ect; I know top boxes for AFTs have been covered but an ex tintop is a different shape, ah well back to the workshop.

Nice one, is that a cup of tea on you then.

Ok been hard at it today making my topbox, used a couple of left over 9mm thick flooring boards and a piece of 20x100mm timber for the back, removed the grab handle and used the anchor points to secure the back of the box , screwed the lefthand panel to the bracket I fitted yesterday, fitted the hinges and the stayput lid closure and assembled, job done, works well for me.
