Few more photos of build continuation, finished the door overhead/switch panel trim and hab to cab architecture. Hopefully will start on overhead lockers tomorrow. Phil

Thats a Sietz window Keith, sorry I've been swapping over to a new phone over the last few days, far harder than building a van 😄, only just got the ability to view this site back. Phil

This sort of place and as Dave suggests Magnums would be a good place even if only to ask if they know where you might get one, though I'm doubtful that you will be able to source a new piece as most shops want to only sell the complete window. But the actual manufacturer might possibly send you...

Hmmm, it as Phil (Millie master) says really needs a photo put up of the window in question. I think your talking about the inverted 'U' shaped rail that is clamped to the top of the window and is clipped into the receiver rail that's attached to the window frame, but can not be sure. Some where...

A little more information on exactly what make and type would be helpful 🙂. Phil

Sorry I was assuming you had a panel van conversion but of course your van is a coach built. So no I was suggesting that you went back to a fixed double seat as per the original for a Ducato/Relay/Peugeot van and you would have to leave by the drivers door and walk round to the hab door to get...

Be very careful as double seats are not the same fittings, the swivel base you have located will have a very specific make of seat that corresponds to it, or you will be into a major modification situation 😉. Phil If you intend to go down the three seats in the cab then I would buy the the two...

Further progress on Sis in laws van, doors all on now and started on top lockers, beginning with the Micro wave cupboard.

As promised these are photos of double swivel seat from a VW (Not sure which model) sat on a box framed base that I welded up encased in decorative ply all mounted on front plates over inside floor and rear plates under the floor pan. The seat itself can as seen swivel 180deg and locks into...

I'm here on holiday with him and his family at Llangennith I'll take some photos later when their three year old wakes up from her afternoon knap 😁. Phil P.s. Its actually swivelling so has a 180 deg position though only locks into travelling position at forward and rear ward positions.

Bloody hell Robbo, that is a massive job but the end result looks fab bet your proud of it. We'll done and a great effort 👌. Phil

When you get the bonding kit cut off the spike on the plastic nozzle, hold the gun/nozzle at 90 deg to the bodywork and so that the "V" of the nozzle leaves a high triangle continously around the window aperture, try to complete it in one go, it's very difficult to do it in one go but try to...

You get the primer with the bonding kit along with the application bud on a stick. The primer is also an anti corrosion fluid too. You must follow the instructions that comes with the kit. Phil P.s. The primer can be used on bare metal to stop corrosion.

This is all you will need to bond the window just follow the instructions to the letter. Phil

I fitted a double swivel seat into my sons 2015 Peugeot Boxer about two years ago. This seat had seat belts fitted to the seat frame so seat belt mountings were not required. I mounted it on a frame that I welded up and drilled down through the floor and used mild steel plates to strengthen...

I've found that the best way is to get an old kitchen knive and sharpen the blade well, on an oil stone preferably. Then using leather gardening gloves use the knife like a spoke shave and gradually slice the excess bonding agent away from the bodywork. Then work on the glass in a similar way...

Hi Mark, well I've done about 600 miles since the problem righted itself so fingers crossed what ever caused it was a one off. 🤷‍♂️. Phil

Upholstery has arrived and I've just finished the blinds. 😁.Phil

As promised a few photos of the carpeted back doors and the blinds casettes, I'll be finishing the fitting of the other blinds tomorrow. Phil

I thought I'd put up some photos of the tile edging I use to hide the carpet edges and gives the carpet a nice straight edge finish. I've carpeted the rear doors today and will post the results tomorrow. Phil
