www.vanwindows.co.uk for putting rear glass into a panel van 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.

insulating and rust profing a Bay

HarryMann If you require to fill the pressed 'fingers' in the floor of the T25, then consider this:- To damp sound or insulate before laying your chosen floor (ply, rubber mat or carpet) then consider camping sleep mats. Those pressings are 10mm deep. Closed cell (cross-linked) roll-up camping sleep mats come in 6, 7, 8 and 10mm (12mm with foil face sometimes, the super-duper ones). They are stable and waterproof. Using a heavy-duty spray adhesive, spray an even single coat on both surfaces, after having accurately cut the roll into strips using a Stanley knife and straight-edge on a soft but flat surface (your largest carpeted room is ideal, if you've been a carpet fitter in a previous incarnation, you'll know what I mean!), leave for 1 minute in hot or 2 or 3 in cold weather, then they tack down just perfect. You then have an easy way of filling the bulk of that gap. The 10mm mats tend to be twice the price of the 8mm ones (£9-99 rather than £4-99, but you should only need one). Don't buy yoga mats, they're fancy and being sporty, designer and over-priced! eBay usually have many different types, but they have to be 10mm thick. The pressed fingers are different widths, they tend to be 1 3/4"; 2 1/4" and 2 1/2"... the flat part, I didn't try to sculpt the foam into a perfect chamfered cross-section, but it is quite possible to chamfer it, using a brand-new floorer's hand-scraper blade (quite lethal things, just don't slip).

I am not sure of the fire rating of this foam, but it certainly doesn't catch fire when attacked by welding spatter (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). 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.
