Sliding door different variants

Post by Lthomas »

My rhd 1983, needs a new sliding near side door , my question is do they differ from the early ones to the later models, could I fit a sliding door from say 1988 model ??

83 is changeover year iirc
Best to post a pic and then it can be identified. The swing link and locks are different too so best to restore what you have got unless its desperately rotten.

Noo it's dead I think , if five photograph it as as you said would you be able to tell easily, as I've been offered a 1988 door and the bus really needs painting soon Summer is coming up and all that, want to show off my magnificent machine
