@3crispies when you say 6mm nut inserts are you referring to rivnuts? If so I will have rivnut tool and a selection of rivnuts with me if that helps?

We certainly did Si and it's working a treat.

 

cheers bud, one of fixing on engine hatch hinge is too loose so was gonna drill and nutsert it 6mm

 

I have heater cables to go aswell.
I'm almost in danger of actually doing some work on my bus

 

Don't forget your windscreen refit

 

If you lot doing heater stuff need any bits, you can take it off my bus.
Not used any of it in 5 years so I'm pretty sure I won't miss it.

 

Urggh yeah, think it has a leak aswell. Will be taking it back to my paint man

 

I had a single white led strip controlled by one of these:-

Select the option for 1 x rf controller + 4 strip control - great for turning on and off from your bed & also leaving it dimmed for a low level of light for the kids!

I also bought some of this:-

Makes for a nice finish fella!

All you need to do is run 12v cable from your 12v fuse box connect to your leisure battery to the controller (I hid my controller in the head banger) then wire to the LED strip! I also bought a little plastic holder for the remove which was mounted near the sliding door for easy access when returning to the van in the dark & a bit of velcro in the back to stick it when I was in bed...

Edit - I have a jigsaw, let me know if you need it bringing however not sure how good the blades are though as not used it for a while!

 

Crimps and 12v cable I have this even online fuses if u have no fuse box so just a switch and leds I have drill /drills normally
