teslo Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hi, you will have to cut form your rear doors approx. this... No big deal. Just cut smaller pieces and measure more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(measure once - measure twice - thrice is the answer) and buy yourself a nibbler it's worth every penny cheers Bade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I folded a lip on one side and didn't bother on the other. the arches are stiff enough to not need the lip, which incidently fills up with crud all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 this is me stuck but you can see my arches I filled the gaps with mastic to stop the crud fulling them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landybehr Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 errr ... jules ... where exactly did you want to drive to in that pic ?? looks like a very brave attempt to drive up a truly vertical wall, being at a 90deg. angle to the track ? this is me stuck but you can see my arches I filled the gaps with mastic to stop the crud fulling them up.

jules Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I drove in and Will Warn can back me up when I said " my 90 used to struggle with this but Johns not far away" then promptly got wedged. There is a track strait on but its still tough going for a 100' truck its not visible in the pic. That's why I like the site its very technical driving but can be a little damaging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
