    Hi guys
    These photos are of the two rear windows on the drivers side(RHD) of my 1979 late bay!
    Wondered if anybody has any ideas of where I might be able to buy replacement part panels to allow me to cut the rust out and replace without going to the expense of buying a complete side panel or the hassle of fabricating pieces to replace the rusty areas with!
    Thanks in anticipation

    Just Kampers do the replacements for these, I have used them on Gusbus, they was an excellent fit too!

    Have a search as I cant recall the p/n's for them :thumbsup:
     
  3. That's great thanks will search but tried about 6 months ago and could only find the LHD panel for front of the two windows. Any idea what these parts would be called?

  5. Got the rear one but the shaped piece under the front of the two windows appears not to be there!
     
  6. I could be wrong mork, as jk increase their range all the time, but i don't think jk do these panels as it's a converted panel van and the profile is wrong, i was under the impression they only did repairs for kombis. If so, you'll have to fabricate.

    Ahh yes I see what you mean, ours was confined to the window channel bits rather than down onto the bodywork!

    Sorry I didnt realise it was a converted panel van, what about Schofields, have they anything suitable?
     
  8. Yeah sorry guys is converted panel van! Have looked at Schofield and can't see front window repair!
    So are u saying that cos mine is converted panel van the just campers rear repair panel is no good either!?

    dunno tbh - start with Josh_JK and go from there although Zed will probably know what you are looking for, he's a font of knowledge!

  14. Spot on thanks will try them cos I think for me to fabricate for both would be a nightmare!
     
  15. If Schofield can do some we could order for both of us maybe get them a bit cheaper!

    I came up against the same problem when doing mine, and to be honest I think you'll end up fabricating them, easy enough if you have access to a metal folder.
     
  20. Thanks a lot everyone for your advice! Looks like I might be fabricating, then filling quite a lt knowing what my fabricating is like!!
