Fitting a late sliding door to an early model t25

Post by Damo7 »

Hi Guys, just hit a huge problem when coming to fit my mint sliding door.
Just noticed that the hinge and catch to the "C" post are totally different. Is there any modification that I can do to make it fit?? The shape of the door on the inside is different.
Argh!!!
I would be greatful for any help or advise!

Thanks, Damien

The best, easiest and cheapest way would be to sell your mint door and get the right one for your van.

I don't think I'll find another in such a good condition...
Looks like I'm going to have to chop it up and make it fit!

proper way would be to fit the rail and cpost bit from a late van.
