Jimmy Two-Jacks Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi, With the summer approaching I thought I would have a go at replacing my old rotten cappings with my nice galvanized ones I got from ebay. Has anyone done a 90 van back (three door) cappings job and if so was it easy and if not anybody got any tips to help me out. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 you can unbolt,remove the van sides without removing the roof, then the existing cappings can be removed & new ones fitted, would be a good time to fit new roof to side panel to tub seals too.

Maverik Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Just doing the rear wing, quater and both cappings, the landrover rivets are the 4.8mm ones so u can use a 4.5mm drill or 5mm then tap out whats left of the rivet with a small screw driver... i've lost count how many I've removed. If you want to do a proper job get some sealed rivets, I just got some of fleebay for a few squid. nice easy job... unless your panels look like this! Hmmm nice new panel!!!
