Still at it. Today's job, do the remainder of the back end, this will be in two parts; the floor and the frame. Today was the framework. As you can see from picture 1 bottom half of framework of passenger side in situation. Driver's side. I used a complete piece of wood from the wheel arch...

In my opinion today was a bit of a wasted day, because of what I found when I removed the batten on the passenger side, this inspired me to re-do what I had previously done to the driver's side. So after dismantling all my previous work I repeated the job I did on the other side. Another...

Add bookmark #3 As you can see the finished job. Fairly straight forward, went to plan...

Today's job was to make the replacement frame, or parts of it. As you can see the wood that I purchased was slightly oversized so I thought this would be a great opportunity to notch the joints and make a better joint. So after preparing the wood it was just a matter of slipping it in...

In true Blue Peter style, this is one I did earlier. Recent conversation I was having with a member who was suffering from damp issues in their van and they had never seen this thread......hope it helps. I think my first port of call is to cut a small section of wall board at the bottom corners...

I was thinking about this tonight. I used to be a keen motorcyclist and used to travelled up and down the country; a lot of my motorcycling was in Scotland as that's were I live and all I had as a tyre repair kit was a couple of self tappers and the bare bones of a 12 volt pump. I don't...

For the first time I now no longer carry a spare wheel ....... the reason, LPG tank in it's place. Rae

Hello Dave, I fully intend to use Tiger seal on the plates under the roof as I have decided to use bolts as well. Probably no need but while the roof lining is out it is a fairly easy job.........and there's always peace of mind. Rae & Ann

Hello Bazz, Are we talking Pure? Rae & Ann

Rob, why are you eating your pants.........you're such a silicant Rae & Ann

Hello Nige, The original intention was to fill the mastic tube full of grease and then squirt a bit, every so often, on my spring assistors at the rear of the van: they're a bit of a Heath Robinson kit, I used 1300 Yamaha rear shock absorber springs.......work quite well but every so often...

On my last rebuild there was a couple of occasions that I couldn't get the right angle to be able to use wood glue from a bottle and so I ended up using mastic instead so this got me thinking, get an empty tube of mastic, push the plunger back out, wipe all the excess mastic away and refill it...

Wob, I would like to inform you that my solar cable just arrived and two lengths have now been soldered to the terminals awaiting my CT1 to arrive, hopefully, tomorrow when I can just plop it on the roof :D :D :D Rae & Ann

Hello Wob, Bet you had to move a bit sharpish, especially if the gardener was coming back from dinner :lol-049: Rae & Ann

Hello Rob, Yeah but how long's a roll; Land's End to John O'Groats? For that price I won't think it was far off. Rae & Ann

Have to be honest, hadn't even crossed my mind but, you're right enough, well worth considering. https://youtu.be/S_fM5cqSODc Perhaps not, in my case with the solar panel, as the roof is not flat. Rae & Ann

Hello Nige, What a blinding result. I can now try and remove my old flexi solar panel. Rae & Ann

Have to agree with you Phil, I was so impressed when I saw the YouTube video that I ordered two tubes yesterday. Rae & Ann

Thanks once again for your greatly received input, a few more options on what type of adhesive to use. I still haven't made up my mind yet, this is no reflection on people's opinions as I think they are all very valid. Hopefully my middle brackets will arrive tomorrow and so I can spend some...

Normally I would reply to you all individually but, in this case, because of the sheer amount of feedback you'll have to accept my apology and I'll answer with one reply. Well, where can I start? 512 seems to be the favourite, a tad expensive but, if it does the job, then all fine and well. Then...
