Re: looking for info on a van with light weight cupboards

If You google "Dibond fabrication manual" there is a pdf showing various fabrication methods, you can also get wallboard jointing and cornering profiles which will work well with the 3 mm thick sheets I would point out that there are several grades, the principle difference in the grades i...

Re: Struggling and vibrations

Take the prop off, and drive it as a 2 wd , its only 8 bolts and will help to isolate the problem, also check that the rear shoes aren't over adjusted, and acting as a handbrake. I would push it along on a level yard the old fashioned way , you should be just able to move it on you own 12 or 15 feet...

Re: STOLEN SYNCRO MINE

That's Rough, Hopefully it shows up soon. Is it worth contacting/mailing the ferry port operators, preferably with pics in case in shows up with different plates- its unusual enough to be spotted. They video tape all vehicles boarding.

Re: vinyl wrap on a van

Re: vinyl wrap on a van

First of all when I first spoke to the guy at the car show the price of £800 was for a straight colour on the van without the roof, which is why I got him to visit to give me a proper...

Re: vinyl wrap on a van

I agree that vinyl will strip clean, and not damage paintwork. But you are relating a story about removing printed vinyl from factory paintwork, this is always successful, but most of our vans have had some collision damage in their 20 odd years of use, and therefore will have repainted areas., Also...
