Thanks, Steve

any pointers in the right direction would be great. 

I'm currently converting a 'fleur de lys' van into a food van. At the moment, head height in the back isn't enough to stand, it needs to be raised be about 350mm.

Does anyone have any advice on rivet bonding? 

I quite fancy doing the work myself as I'm doing everything else myself, also, the vans not running and I'm fed up of paying to get it moved. I feel like welding will be too testing of me. I have a gassless mig which is ok for rough bits, but dont think id get the finish im looking on the panels so thought rivet bonding could work?

The plan is to cut the roof off just behind the doors, heighten the steel structure inside (welding) and then rivet a 350mm filler panel down each side, Obv there will be some faffing around at the front and back, but you get the idea. The van is vintage and so the rivets will be inkeeping with the character.

From what I understand, I'd be taking the panels back to metal, clamping the formed panels in place with probably a 50mm or so overhang, using a suitable metal to metal adhesive and riveting the joins.

Also, its going to be a food van, not a show vehicle. Ill put a good amount of work in the prep and paint and will be happy if the van looks good for the next 5 years. Im open to people's opinions if they think its a complete no no as I don't see it done much. 

Thanks!

Does anyone know what they were and where to get replacements?  Whilst the front have eyes top and bottom the rear had an eye at the bottom, and the top was threaded.  I realyl dont want to have to compeltely remake the mountings that we made back in 1996!!

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks

Just got my new toy and starting to fiddle with it to make it just how I want it.

The car has GRP seats and they are a little too far back for me. I would like to use adjustable runners/sliders whatever they are called!

Currently, the seat is bolted to a frame through the seat base which is bolted to the floor. I'd rather not drill the floor so looking for a solution to use the existing mountings on the floor pan. I have no ability to weld or fabricate but can turn a ratchet from a socket set with some success!!!!!

The holes in the floor pan are 275mm side to side and 330mm apart longways. I think, from what ive read im better off with a twin locking system rather than single sided as its more secure.

Does anyone know of a suitable product I can install that would work with these dimensions? I've seen a lot of seat runners that state a maximum length of 310mm. Is that the plate or the amount of adjustment????

I hope there is a product out there that I can simply bolt into the existing holes and then bolt my seat to it. I look forward to your product suggestions and expertise.

I have no air filters and want to fit some, so I need to adjust this bonnet stay to move it away from the carbs, where can I get a longer, bendable and adjustable version of this bonnet support?

Also I need to replace the o/s steering gaiter so I want to buy a pair. I assume it is a Sierra steering rack, but gaiters I see online don't look like this n/s one - particularly the inner end (2nd image of the gaiter). Any ideas, or have they just simplified the design of the replacements to make both the same?

does anyone have the material number of the stainless steel monoque? Thamks.

Looking for a side panel off side for a 2B if anyone has one for sale?

😊 

I would quite like to change the colour of my tiger cat. I had initially thought about a respray, but then though potentially a wrap could also work and be cheaper. 
 

Has anyone had there tiger(or other kit) wrapped before? If so was it expensive?

or how do able is it? 

I have been trying to get the seats out of my cat, they are only the basic pad seats but behind the upright there’s something holding the seat in place which I cannot seem to separate, has anyone any idea 1) what is is, and 2) how on earth to remove the seat from it!  
 

Hopefully the picture below is sufficient!

Does anyone have any idea on what this type of fixing is? And more importantly how to remove it? Attempting to take the shoddy pedal cover out to be replaced and sections of metal have been connected using these, see pictures below! I’m guessing it may just be a case of prying apart the metal till it pops out 

I can’t seem to find anything related to this issue so any help would be really appreciated. 
The bolt pictured below has come loose and the mud guard is rattling and moving around a fair bit. 
Any idea how I remove this type of screw/bolt when it has a has a rounded head and is loose? As of course it will just spin. Would it be best to grind it off and put a new bolt in? 

First post on here, sorry if question has been asked before.

I've recently brought a rh2b frame, sierra rear axle and sliding pillar fronts. 

I'm concerned about the s/s body panels. 

Can you buy them still? If not does anyone have the flat plans for them so I can make my own. 

Any other routes to take to get bodywork? 

Thanks in advance

Question is, are the hinges in the attached picture meant to just screw out? I can turn them a bit but then they get stuck, and I am wanting to replace them with some new ones!

Not been on for a while as i am currently working in Saudi Arabia, I may have asked this question before but i want to fit a caterham "7" logo front grille to my GBS Zero. I have had a look on caterhams website and it seems there are several different types. has anybody done the same or knows which one i will need to fit my car??
