    I hope you may be able to advise me regarding sliding door, I am in the process of getting my bus restored & I am needing help to identify what parts I need.
    My sliding door has been converted to an opening door with hinges, so obviously I want to revert it back to a sliding door, but I do not know what parts I need, sorry to be so vague.

    Any advice is greatly appreciated

    Cheers Martin :thumbsup:

    What year is your van? Is it a Brazilian one, do you have the sliding door track along the side under the removeable cover?

    You may do better buying a complete sliding door that's rotten and stripping the bits
