Top work if i keep my dormy this is first on the list !! as for pwder coating the firm that did my bumpers charged £55 each so as for frame work i see it being alot cheaper than that hope this helps.

good thinking - depends on the material, usually man made stuff such as nylon won't dye.

 

[Frankie]

I don't think it will dye dont know.

dont the originals taper? if so, do you end up lying on an angle with the narrow end being less taught?

 

[Frankie]

dont know will check out the untouched one and let you know.

 

[Frankie]

Had a quick look yes there is a slight taper to original but the green is at first glance equal to the narrower side don't know yet if it will affect sleeping position not fitted yet its only about 25to 30 mm so it should be OK i'm doing it anyway.

Great thred seeing as Dormobile charge the earth for new ones. Will be interested to see them up and see how much they sag and where.

Will be keeping an eye on this one.

 

[Wishart]

The frames are riveted to the hinge part arnt they? Did you drill these out to get the frame off? How you fixing them back together?

Will be replacing the bunks on ours with some tailored stuff :fyou:

 

[Frankie]

The frame is on the van roof, the hinge is attached to the poles that the hammock slides over with pop rivets so just pop rivet them back on .

 

[Doris]
