ditchman Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 set the window in with black silicon mastic then screw the "l" shaped aluminium strops and corners to the frame which presses the glass into the frame NOTE..........before you do the mastic lay the aluminum strips out in the position they need to go as they wount match up with the screw holes otherwise and check the screws as they can be rusty.... these are self tappers DONT OVERTIGHTEN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have free to you if you'll cover the postage. job 3 was to put the new mud flaps on that came today, i was going to go for the ones that said land rover on but they were like £50 so i went for plain for £17, may still change my mind at some point and buy some pretty ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord O War Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Your not using the guy in Huddersfield are you? He's somewhere behind B&Q on Leeds road but because he is very good he is also very busy so he takes a while. If I remember correctly he is ex Rover. A mate of mine restores classic motor bikes and uses him to do his seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
