My 'new to me' California has an aftermarket Fiamma awning. When it was removed by the previous owner, the captive bolt parts on the brackets sheared off. I can source some replacement bolts and make good but I wondered about buying a replacement fitting kit. So far it seems to me from research today that Fiamma supply the bespoke California fitting kit only as part of an awning package and not as separate kit in the way they do for other van conversions. Anyone know better and a retailer?
 
After talking to a few dealers and retailers, I now believe that a replacement fitting kit for the California is not available as a separate kit from the awning. Fortunately my calls led me to contact a specialist converter with a track record in sourcing awning parts from salvage/recycling. Success - TNT should be delivering tomorrow. Anyone thinking of removing their Fiamma from a California needs to be careful to avoid damage....parts are difficult to source without buying all new awning!
