***Sliding Door advice needed***

[mozzer]

Morning all.......

I need to get a repalcement sliding door mines a 1982/83 A Reg..... I understand that the earlier and later vans have different sliding doors is this correct and which year did they change................

PS any one got a spare door

Thanks in advance

yes, early and late are different, change over year was 85, although some slightly earlier have later doors.

easiest way of spotting difference from a distance is the length of the door handle, earlier have a long handle ( and so a longer handle shape ) than later doors.

the rear edge is different on the inside edge, as the door frame is different on a later body.

expect to pay big money for a good early door, if such a thing still exists.....

YES there is a difference as mocki said . im looking for a new one too, and a decent one is like rocking horse poo
if you can repair the bottom panel do that, you can get the bottom panel from schofields, mines gone too far for that.
find a good welder and bobs your uncle.
whats up with your door where has it gone ?
