Tailgate with no window

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by pyratwoody007, Jan 26, 2014.

  1. Hi, I've got a late bay panel van that has glass In the tailgate however I've seen a late bay that has an all steel tailgate with no glass which I personally thinks look better on a panel van.

    Question is where can I get one?

    Thanks guys!

    From the rocking horse poo barn, they are pretty rare, may be easier to modify a windowed one

    Someone posted a link to a site that had various NOS doors and hatches recently.
    I'm sure they had one but can't for the life of me remember who it was!
     
  4. My first van had a square window in one side of the tailgate
     
  5. M plate code-M127 according to my nerd book. There's a van round the corner from me with one, but it's the only one I've seen in the flesh. Rocking horse poo indeed!
     
  6. Good luck with that! :(
     
  7. So the search is on! There's me thinking they are easily available!
     
  8. I wanted the same a few years ago . I posted a wanted as on vzi & found a couple. didn't buy either of them , sellers wanted big bucks if I remember correct

    so I'd recommend Wanted ad on vzi.
     
  9. Thanks gumbo ill post an ad on vzi, what sort of money was being asked for them out of interest?
     
  10. I could remake a windowed one into a non-window one... :thumbsup:

  11. A really cheap way would be to get a piece of steel laser cut to the exact window dimensions, install with a new seal then paint the whole tailgate, seal and all. Gotta be cheaper than welding a panel in

    Good work
     
  15. Good price too... I saw the link to it over on VZi :thumbsup:
     
  16. Bargain. Well done! :)
     
  17. The tailgate needs a bit tidying near the lock and bottom edge but HEY that's all part of the fun right?
     
  18. Custom and commercial have a variety in stock.
    Sit down before you check the prices :D
     
  19. Ha! £439! From custom and commercial! looks like I've got a bargain at 150 Euros!
     
  20. Finally picked tailgate up today from Jeffery van Duin, he was good enough to meet near Birmingham, now to get it sorted for paint!
