We fitted a Julianos to our original 32 3w . Lots of work as we didnt realise we had no original tack strip( If you dont have it you dont know its missing). So as Julianos is designed to pop rivet to the roof out side of the original channel,( this sure wasnt going to happen in our case) to fit a Julianos to the original channel means you need to fill the channel to roof height to get a level surface for the aluminium attachment strip.
So for a stock roof I think Le baron bonney would be a much better bet.
