viking Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 no mate this weekend so i was left to my own devises, not always a good thing first i had to get the diesel tank back in, then put the sill supports, or whatever there called, in, that took some doing as it was nearly impossible to get the nuts on, but managed in the end .

viking Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 then i thought id got one of the sides out, even though its not the right time for the sides, thats just the sort of mischievous thing i do when left alone i had kept the old rubbers that were on the underside, and when i looked in my box from when i bought a full set of seals there didnt seem to be any for the underside, certainly none with a right angle, only the one to seal the top of the side and the roof, the old ones seemed to clip over the under sides and fit nice and neat, i will have to contact famous four and see whats what . theses are the roof seals, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 the only seal that looked like it may of done was in one piece, had no right angle and wasnt long enough for both sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 and then i remembered i had some things that went inside and stuck out of the holes, look like some kind of drain plugs, not that i expect the back to be filling up with water and apart from watching the moto gp, that ladies and gents, was my sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 seems like it could be this seal, of which i have 2 of, although there is no right angle on it, and it doesn't look much like the original one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 today after work i went to see the bloke who is doing my roof lining, note to self, never tell anyone your in no rush hes had it about 3 month now and not even started it. probably not a bad thing as he said he would rather do it with the roof in his possession,so he can do what he needs to do to make sure it fits, and the bonus is he will fit it all the main reason i went to see him was to take him one of the front seets where the black plastic backing had all cracked and broken off, iv asked if he can cover it in vinyl as i cant find another back for love nor money, i was going to get him to do all 3 but then thought id rather have the other 2 with there proper backs on, and only the top 5-6 inch are seen anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
