Ian Hulley Thought I'd share this company with you I had the side windows in The Bus fitted by them. Based in Castleford,they fit and guarantee 2 30" x 7" fixed roof windows for £89. Service was spot-on,friendly and sorted in about an hour and a half. No leaks since either. will only fit glass supplied by themselves based in Castleford.

I am not sure of the fire-rating of this foam, it certainly doesn't catch fire when attacked by red-hot welding spatter, but once set alight with a match (an exposed edge for about 5 seconds) then it will burn, melt, drip and give off fumes that smell dodgy. Whether it gives off dangerous fumes, I don't know. Maybe someone could enlighten us, because it would be quite excellent, being firm yet flexible, for the roof of a van, to stop drumming, insulate and prevent condensation. To a small extent it can be formed into 3-dimensional shapes. Cut with sharp Stanley knife for accurate stripping or large carpet shears for ad-hoc trimming. NB. A cheap 8mm one makes a great mat to roll-out under the van, for working on rough or wet surfaces or in sub-zero temps



DiscoDave top tip for sticking catches on your cuboards:- works with the devon type! push the catch to the open postition and to the to point where it gets stuck, then undo the screws at the back untill it springs forward! just as it should!
