What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Snakelimit]

Me too but thought I’d get this done first as it’s an easy job to swap speakers.

What did you use on door
And how much you need it for each door

Just some stick back acoustic foam from Amazon. 1 roll enough for both doors. Was about a tenner I think.

Had my Claytons fitted, the wolfrace alloys removed.

Gave the inside a clean up, wiped the furniture down, hoovered up.

Just needs a wash now.

custom cargo /storage net brackets (net and bottom mount points don't exist yet )

View attachment 288881

Original holes have been used. No drilling (top priority for me) at all.

Second part of project "custom cargo net behind the second row of the seats" - not fully completed yet.



I don't have a good idea I would be happy with on how to hang the net from the ceiling without drilling.
The existing holes don't fit the standard dimensions of the rivet nuts (at least the ones I have). Ideas / suggestions are more than welcome.

TIA

Another prototype - the main function is a step for the dog. Fully removable for loading luggages.






Provisionally (for testing purposes) supported by transport belts. It works better then initial idea - 2x6mm cords.

 

[Pushirons]

Inspired by many others before fitted this.

It is test fit pending black B pillars and good job as well it needs to go a few mm to the right as I’ve a shuttle with factory door cards and it just catches.

Hi Archersam, do you have to trim the top off the outer frame? The ones I’ve seen seem to have a curved top to them?

Also how do you then secure them the the Van trim panel and support them enough to take a full drink?

 

[Madpasty]

cleaned the wheels

Could you put a piece of aluminium attached at the top on each side?

After 2 years of re-painting my front end fiamma F45s cap I have ordered a new cap from Fiamma, £47 including postage! (Didn't realise Fiamma is based in Stourbridge).
I thought I would just try a test removal of the 3 screws holding the cap, they are indeed seized solid. I tried the 'rubber band approach', nope.
Ordered a screw removal set which should be delivered today, and also a tube of Copaslip.
@moomin-j , do you remember the length of those No. 8 Pozipan screws you used? I might as well get those at the ready too.
Thanks mate, there's another £60 you owe me I reckon!!

@Drive Wayne

Bought a few different lengths, prior tp strip down, from these nice folk:

POZI PAN SELF TAPPING SCREWS ZINC PLATED

self tappers, self tapping, tappers, tapping, zinc screws, pozi screws, pan screws, bzp screws, zinc screws

www.kayfast.co.uk

But after stripping down this was the length of the internal screw (sadly can't remember what size the other 2 were - sorry):



Good luck - hope all goes well....

Another busy day (for me anyway). Started the sound deadening and thermal insulation. Completed rear quarter panels and tailgate. Now to get all the black stuff out from my finger nails

 

[Pugsley]

Fitted new rear pads, put my mudflaps on and got my MFSW working(partially)

 

[Drive Wayne]

the front cap on mine is flaking as well, will be intrested to see how those screws come out mine are siezed solid the tread is a lot thinner than the head i reckon and you know the F****rs are going to snap if their stainless they will be a sod to drill out and extract
But anyway good luck and post how you get on

Just ordered 10 of the required screws for the F45s Fiamma end cap, All details attached, £7.49 delivered by RM.
Only need 3, plenty of time to lose the spares...
The newer recommendation has Torx head rather than the crosshead I now have to try to remove... joy!

 

[cgtmiles]

MOTed it! Clean bill of health, the free health inspection seemed almost too clean for me, everything green which didn’t seem right but I’m not going to argue!

While I'm on the Fiamma, it can rattle like a rattly thing on rough roads, one of our guitar techs at work has a seamstress mother who 6 months ago I asked to make me a pair of socks for the legs when in the Fiamma cowling.
They fit a treat, great job.
She doesn't want orders, she's too busy!
If anyone wants the measurements let me know!

I put sticky back foam strips inside the metal casing to stop the rattles

 

[tommy_t6.1]

Fitted and splitter. It's taken me 4 years to find one I kind of liked, and I'm still not sure with this one now it's fitted! Haha Needs spraying gloss black first then I'll decide if I'm keeping it of not!
