Cheers 1664
Soft or hard lining? Not sure whether to glue reconstituted high density foam 10-20mm then cover with lining or another type of insulation. Then line with ply or similar, then glue lining to ply. Pictures near hi top windows also ideal for me .
Thanks

Will start a new subject in Campers as I don't want to hijack Ghosts thread.

Leisuredrive hightop - Carat wheels ?

We have a tidy set of Carat wheels here. We just cannot decide whether they will "look right" on the new Leisuredrive. The existing steelies are in good nick and currently have trims fitted as per =

I know I could trial fit them (we have the Brickwerks fitting kit) but would have to spend £300 on tyres to do this
Our "other" van (86 TinTop camper) will be back with us soon and will be for sale ( I ain't going to like selling that, I get attached to them, 8 years we've had it !) and that has plain steel wheels (they need new tyres anyway).
The only solution I have come up with is fit new rubber to the Carats, try them on the Leisuredrive, if I don't think they suit it, fit them on the TinTop and sell it with them on, but that way I won't "maximise" my investment in the Carats
Anyone got a pic of a white Hi-Top with Carats fitted ?
Decisions, decisions...

Aye Bren, I just need to take a side on picture and then buy and learn to use Photoshop
Mind you, during my (boring) convalescence, instead of rabbiting on here and watching New Tricks etc, I should get my head around "Gimp" (Free Open Source software like Photoshop - but you knew that I bet

)
I was "Googling" images, trying to find a picture of a Hi-Top with Carats on it, when I found,
on Google Images, 2 pics of my new van "lifted" from here !

Sorry, I thought Photoshop was free....
Have to use the Blue Peter method; printed paper, scisssors and glue
