Re: rear van doors

Thanks will try. The ball is fitted in the top left but whichever ball we put in it looks the same in the end. We tried to match the hinges up with the rust marks they had left behind but will have another move round and see what happens. Thanks

Re: rear van doors

Hi, with hindsight that is such a good idea. I thought I had them all labelled correctly and laid out on bits of paper but I think they have been mixed up. I will post some pictures of the way they are now tomorrow, bit too dark to take them now. Thanks for the help

I may have got the hinges muddled up but I think I have sorted them out now into the right pairs. Am I right in thinking that the screw heads of the bolts with the springs on that...
