Well,
Managed to squeeze a few hours in this morning (what with work
and Family life, difficult to find time to work on the van!).
Before continuing spraying one of the vents for the poptop,
thought it would be a good move to put the holes in to mount
it on the hinges and the handle.
After measuring 20 times, I drilled and I was 100% bob on with
all the holes
Did a trial fit using the old screws and hinges etc, but I got new
opening handles so attached those to.
Here are a few pics of the new vent insitu - will look bob on with
new screws etc. See what you think:
I only had to replace one so the original good one I have tidied up
but will give a few coats of top coat eventually.
The new handle are spaced differently to the originals where
they mount to the vent so had to play around abit to get it to
fit, but got there in the end
:
Cheers and thanks
