Bought some new doors for the trailer, they are off a Morris Minor Van, the size is almost perfect & it should be an easy modification for a man with the right skills :)

Bought some now Stainless spring washers for my Westy windows:-

Some more rivnuts for the rest of my screw holes:-
Image

I even got myself a Bentley Manual; from Just Kampers:-
Image

The Bentley Manual is so much better than the Haynes one, I was stuck on an electrical fault on a cossover Bay today for hours using the Haynes manual n the end I tried my M8's Bentley manual & it all became clear, it only took me 10 mins to fix. The Bentley & Haynes use the same diagram but there was more info on the Bentley. ironically I got home today & mine had arrived. :)
