Checked mine today , you guessed it , it's got a slight weep and not even on the road yet

I am at the rebuilding stage of my van , it appears I should have spot welded the small steel channel to the under side of the door , I overlooked this part would it be ok to pop rivet it on or does any one know of a good adhesive which could be used. Just to clarify it's the channel which holds the...

Sorted. Window mechanism , lock latch operating arm, lock lever and escutcheon, glass, then glass frame and seales .It was such a long time ago when I stripped it down I had forgotten the sequence . Thanks

What is the best sequence of operations to refit all the internals to a front door . Thanking you in anticipation

Hi thanks for your replies I have the rubber buffers and there is indeed one hole towards the back of the front wing about 4mm diameter

Hi the rubber spacer washer between the front bumper valance and the underside of the wing , is there a nut and bolt to fix the two together or is the rubber spacer just fixed to the underside of the wing acting as a buffer ,also roughly were is it positioned . Thanking you in anticipation

Looks like it's off to Newark auto jumble on Sunday ,weather permitting

Yes that's true you can get new and second hand mechanisms but if they produce new ones how come they will not just sell a spring it seems a shame to scrap a good winder mechanism for the sake of a cheap spring

Hi does anyone stock replacement coil springs for the window winder mechanism one of mine is broken just need to replace the spring

I am trying to make it look as original as possible the vans didn't have any padding on the door card it was just painted a very light crinkle finish , the outer edges of the door card I have filed a small pencil round

Hi. I have purchased 4 pieces of petg 2mm plastic sheet and cut and drilled them to a template door card for my van I am just awaiting from Woolies the non stretch vinyl to cover the cards . Total outlay £20 for the 4 pieces of petg (2 spares ) and £13-50 plus postage for the vinyl

Yes that looks like what I am after but will probably use the 2mm thick sheet may have to wait till I get back from sunnier climes cheers

Hi I intend to cover with vinyl was hoping someone had made there's in some kind of pvc/plastic sheet save problems with water ingress

Hi I am about to make a pair of door cards for my van , has anyone used any other material other than mdf for the backing boards

Yes I agree it was really useful, I used it quite a lot . Will it ever return ?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all

To firedrake with the crystal ball don't usually reply to these comments but can assure you I am not a credulous lumpen cretin

Hi smithskids I take it your exhaust is the big bore have had a look on mini spares can't see the large bore front silencer , did you just buy some standard bends and weld together

Decided to scrap the worst wheel with the valve hole rusted and going to weld the worst of the remaining then a thin scim of filler

I have just had 5 very rusty crust van wheels blasted , there is now some quite large pits , what would the best filler to use to bring them level with the surrounding metal
