Recommendations - rock n roll bed

We are looking to get a full width rock n roll bed fitted into our panel van, but we are struggling to find anyone who really seems confident (and I'm certainly not confident enough to do it myself!).

Re: Handbrake handle

Pierburg carb gasket

Probably going to sound like I don't know what I'm talking about (especially if I get asked any questions), but looking for help if anyone can... Had our 1.9dg van in at the garage because it has been cutting out and idling really poorly, but on and off. Tracked it down to an air leak because of the...

Windscreen seal - recommendations?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience / recommendation of a decent windscreen seal? I've heard that the quality varies across suppliers.

Thanks!
