The scratches are pretty deep,

Does anyone know where I can get runners and front seats?
Swivel seats will be great !

As the Fig says, you could order your panel van or camper (post 1955) with M199 which gave you no bulkhead at all and a swiveling driver's seat.

Pre 1955, M057 would give you the cut-out bulkhead with a single post going up to the roof.

If you asked for M057 after 1955, you got wooden slats on your pick-up's load area... You must admit, it's almost the same...

If you had a bus other than a camper or a panel van and you asked for M199... you got seat belt mounting points... eish Depending on which web site you look... Kombis would get you a swivel seat too.

But I think it would be a good idea to find out what M199 entailed. Just a saw and some swively seats, or did they actually build in some gussetts for reinforcements?

M183: Walk-through cab (Panelvan and Kombi - RHD)

Walk-thru panels did not have the vents at the top rear of the load compartment.

I need 2 of those clamps too for my rack. If I find, I will buy 4 and send 2 over in the post.

I'm also looking for a few for my rack. I used the ones off rod holders found in most Auto stores as a temporary fix (lasted over two years so far with kayaks on the roof for long windy trips). Was an expensve exercise at around R60 a pop - probably more now

Started to fix up some holes,
Getting a bit pssd off, this was meant to be a quick cleanup(dirt/mud/grease) but the more I do the more the work piles on,

Yes, Im happy with the outcome
I have no idea about the clear coat on flexible surfaces, Only way to know is to wait, maybe in a few weeks the paint starts breaking off

[Farhaad]

lets hope not. if so then use a paint that does not require a clear coat and then by hand buff the shine up

[Donovan D]

You guys like my "new" paint work ??

Hi there..
Is this an outrigger? Did you make ur own or buy it?

[Dawie]

Was actually thinking the same thing.

Some sheetmetal parts like this one should be relatively easy to make.
