Re: Identifying / replacing sliding windows

yes that's not how factory window seal works, factory one on a caravelle fits over the inner lip and fills the space out to the outer skin surface so that's a very odd way of doing it, means the seal isn't fitted into the shell just glued in place David, the Prof, has a Trakka and he may have had bo...

Re: Installing aftermarket rev counter / tacho into a petrol T25
