The garrison seals are custom extruded EDPM just for this purpose, not felt.
As i said, it's the same stuff, synthetic rubber with a flock liner

I think they superceded the 185 and 201

Is it possible to sell on the other stuff and fork out for a replacment bulkhead?
Kills 2 birds with 1 stone... -
I'll have a chat with him and let you know.
They're about £50 for 2 pairs of kits, so 2 door's worth
I'll get a picture of the product tomorrow and post it up.

What i've noticed now rather than before is i can see the metal ' pooling ' if that's a word for it, it's like making a puddle you push along
I did have a senior moment after dinner tonight where it all went pear shaped...
..so i turned on the gas and it was back to normal

What's the name of the stuff you are getting to replace the felt?
Well i was coming to that
It's identical to the garrison door stuff but half the price, i have a friend who had to buy it on a large roll and has a fair amount left over.
I was going to do a fitting session so you can see and then if you want some, we can sort out some kits for people 👍

Got an afternoon to have a tinker in the workshop, wrist is painful but working through it cause I’m an impatient sod and want to do more welding
I got some argoshield and a regulator and it’s like night n day compared to my pub gas effort...it still pales in comparison to most , if not all of you on here but it’s giving me confidence to continue
this was my first go;
I started to weld these 2 pieces without clamping them, so they began to drift apart. I had to cut the weld and then I tacked a weld at one end, then carried on

My wife just looked over my shoulder whilst reading this, patted me on the head and said ' i know how that feels ' and wandered off....😂
As Dave said, parts will gain you more money but take longer t shift and i guarentee you'll be left with a pile of ' not so exclusive ' bits that will end up probably being scrapped.
I have a project on the go otherwise i'd have a serious chat with you about what you have as i love the older 109's & 88's but being sensible is kicking in

My next question is, if i purchase the ignition and door lock set that fits TD5 and 2002 later models, are those barrels likely to fit in the AB Locks?
from what i can see, the later version locks are a tad longer and maybe wider?

you don't need to fabricate these yourself .... on the 1984 "facelift" model , they used 1 piece doors , with a capping to look like 2 piece doors ,
think the number is : muc3930-muc1931
Excellent find hurbie, thank you

In the time between my first question and this one, i found a pair of one piece, sliding window variety for half the price, so quite happy.
They are naked doors, so all the glazing, locks and such will need to be bought, but i've saved myself a few quid over buying a pair from paddocks or SP4x4.
I will need to fashion a fake capping on these though as it's going to look abit odd otherwise ( i have 2 piece front doors )

Does the glass sliders at the top of your doors slot into the door frame? It looks like it does in the picture
On those i listed, the window frame area is flat with no visible signs of the glass slider sitting in anything
Then again i can't see how the window winding mechanism fix's to anything on the lower door frame...

Not having much luck finding a 2nd set of 2nd row doors with sliding windows, i came across these at Paddocks;
https://www.paddockspares.com/catalog/product/view/id/6471/
To me they look like the 2nd row lift up with sliding window doors.
Can anyone confirm before i buy them?
Cheers

Can’t they sell it in kit form to bypass some laws?

Just as using it for powering 240v, i could run 2 batteries as 24v if the right system came along.
Not sure how i'd charge it unless it was through solar set up for 24v, which isn't a bad thing.
Would i need to then split the pair of batteries running 24v for normal 12v operation...
-
Brilliant, thanks Zardos.
I'll keep looking at what is out there and figure out whether it's worth running a single 12v or a 24v set up.
-
Having a nosy around i saw that some folk have been using the innards of UPS ( uninterupted power supplies ) for pc's and servers as a 12v to 240v inverter in their vehicles.
The UPS's apparently use PSW inverters inside them
Can anyone who has a notion or idea of whether this is a good practice as PSW inverters are bloody expensive and UPS's aren't ( 2nd hand market )

Looking good.
So how will the Aluminium make a difference to what you do with Steel?

there’s a nice ex St. John’s ambulance on there at the moment.

I finished off the frame around the opening last night
It will partly form the base for the bed, however i chose to do this, which i haven't fully commited to a design just yet.
I have decided to not go with the bunks as i'm a fussy sleeper and as i get older and
wisergrumpier i want to enjoy comforts and a little space when sleeping.The frame legs will be bolted through the original roof onto the aluminium spacer so it'll be pretty strong.
If i'm honest it's untested as to how well it'll perform in a crash, but with cutting a hole in the roof, at least i've kept some integrity of the mass removed.
Dormobile put a few extra braces on the curve and be done with it!
This is another turning point as this was the last thing stopping the roof being bolted on for the final time.
I have a few touches to the paint work to sort out and to spray the GRP and then it's onto the final stretch of swapping the roof's over!
Oh and i have my surprise to show you
