Vans back home - new clutch, gear linkage throughout, replacement box, new power steering pump. Gears change as if it were new - a bit of a revelation. So, wings to adjust and a lick of paint and the bodywork will be....... done!Last edited by mike_skinner; 15 July 2020, 08:51 PM.

Nope - couldn’t afford it. I do have two spare boxes though to take a close look at if I decide to do it later on. It’s a box in situ mod isn’t it?
I’m not that fussed about it though as it’s quite happy to sit at 60 all day and it’s a revelation to be able to change down!
looking at it again if looks like the wings need a slight rotate to line up properly - as Hans says, “more fucking about”. If it’s a pig and the pattern panels are a nightmare then I’ll paint the front black and forget about it

Some advice needed on sliding door channels...
the top rail looks quite crusty - I had the bottom patched up ages ago but now it looks like the rail for the top rollers is going - slam the door and the rollers pop out. I’m unsure how to tackle it, it looks like it needs a new bit of rail welded in but can this be done from the top by cutting a hole on the inside step to access or is it a drop the tank and go in from the end? I’m loath to do the second way but has anyone else had similar and come up with a nifty fix? There’s someone in the north east that does a whole sliding door step repair but am skint after the gearbox shenanigans (Facebook groups reckon on £750+++ for this). Pic shows the area so if you have a tidy one for reference then please post!You may only view thumbnails in this gallery. This gallery has 1 photos.1 Photo

Sorted - made up a repair strip from some 10x2 and tacked it in - top lip repair stops the roller pulling out of the channel. Also added a repair patch to level up the bottom of the channel - a previous repair meant the weight bearing roller could drop a couple of mm meaning the rollers could also pull out. New roller fitted then adjust tomorrow. It won’t win any beauty contests but then neither would I and the door wont drop off.
