Delux trim

  1. The delux trim that JK etc stock only fits the swage line...ie the curved bit.My bus is undergoing Resto and the original holes for the trim have been revealed....they are along the panels of the bus.Does swage line trim also fit along the original panel lines?Does anyone know where to get panel trim?Its for a 77microbus delux.Thanks!

    Is your trim roughly in line with the door handles ? Like this

  3. Yes....the holes are in that position.I assume that is called the belt line?Reckon the trim looks better on the belt line.I have just bought a kit which goes on the swage line.Don't think they are interchangeable.Any one got pics of their van with trim on swage line?

    They aren't available and the trim available won't fit without a bit of modding

  5. Could you not buy some off-the-shelf self-adhesive trim to stick over the existing holes? Sure it must exist.

    Tuesday wildchild I'm a circle!

    Yrs but is it any good?
    I've seen some of that stick on chrome trim and it didn't it weather well.
     
  7. I've got some on the side trim and grill surround on my Jetta and its weathering better than the polished aluminium proper bits on it lol tricky part is getting it stuck on straight over a long panel....theres a tendency for it to kink and go a bit wavy when applying it

  15. I salvaged some of this trim when a friend took it off his before he binned it. Knew someone would need some sooner or later.
