    Yeah I'd missed the obvious, I guess it would be... ;) I was looking at the metallic blue late bay in the first picture, I'm pretty sure Doug's van was an Australian import.

    I spotted the van of a friend of mine up there which is an Aussie bay, not sure how you would tell though? It used to have an external door for the gas bottle which I believe was a give away of an Australian camping conversion but he removed it when the van was repainted, beyond that I'm not...

    Hi, do you still have these?

    Adding lightness (AKA jettisoning unnecessary crap).

    I'm the other end of the spectrum with our van having been off the road for two years stripped down to a bare bones. All those useful little things that you accumulate over years of camping have been removed and dispersed so we're back to basics again. I'll start with the essentials, a fistful...

    Looks like you've already extended beyond 10, but if it still works for carriage I'd take one.

    Where could I get one of these from?

    I find chandleries are a great place to look when you're after clips, toggles or obscure fixtures and fittings. I'm not from a boating backround and I could tell you what half the items are intended for, but the deck hardware is generally good quality (often stainless stee)l, reasonably priced...

    68 Bay - Is there a quality 4 pot alternative to the CSP Delco caliper?

    Hi Clem, just dropped you a DM ;)

    68 Bay - Is there a quality 4 pot alternative to the CSP Delco caliper?

    Thanks Clem, I'm looking to fit something better rather than replace like for like. Out of interest, how did you end up with the spare set of calipers, did you fit something else?

    68 Bay - Is there a quality 4 pot alternative to the CSP Delco caliper?

    I believe the CSP is the only kit that can be used with a 14" steel wheel, it's the reason I went for CSP at the time. I should add I'm running 15" alloy sprinstars currently so the ability to fit 14" steelies again would be a bonus but it's not the end of the world if I can't. David Slack's...

    68 Bay - Is there a quality 4 pot alternative to the CSP Delco caliper?

    My 68 bay is fitted with the wide-5 CSP kit suitable for 14" steel wheels and the calipers are both shot with a full rebuild required to get them going again, rather than rebuild the crappy Delco calipers I'd prefer to replace them with a better quality alternative. Willwood seem like a...

    Fitting 3/4 side windows

    Not yet, got sidelined with getting a new loom fitted and the engine and transmission back in so it's still on the to-do list, but at least we'll be approaching it a little more clued up this time ;)

    Awesome, thanks Sparkywig this has been a great help (y)

    Fitting 3/4 side windows

    Ahhhhh OK...., so does that rear window tab just sit in the position of the notch, or do you can push the tab through and slide the window forward with the tab sliding down the inside of the window seam to lock it in the position? I don't suppose you have an image of the cutouts on the vertical...

    Fitting 3/4 side windows

    Thanks for the info Sparkywig. No there wasn't a opening window there before, I was wondering whether the window seam should be notched to allow the tabs to press forwards. I'll see if I can find an image, proportionally how deep would you guess they cut into the seam, 1/3?

    Fitting 3/4 side windows

    ...and what about the tabs on the square edge, do these go on the interior or exterior face of the window seam?

    Fitting 3/4 side windows

    So just to clarify, those tabs go on the interior side of the window seam?
