Whitestar side planks

Post by stephen t25 »

Hi all,


It’s been a while, my Whitestar is getting unmothballed and hopefully getting some new paint and a new lease of life, I need to remove the side plank body kit parts, pretty sure they have never been removed, so was after some tips on removing without damaging them, any info would be very much appreciated.

Drove the van today after months, great to remember why I keep her going 😉

If you look up from beneath them you will see a bolt these need unscrewing. Hopefully they are not seized.Give them a good squirt of releasing fluid for a few days beforehand. You may end up breaking them,but the brackets and fixings are available.
