van rear door fastening bar pics needed

Post by **wibble_puppy** » Sat Sep 20, 2008 8:15 am

ello chaps

i'm in need of good close-up photos of the upper (roof) hole where the rear door fastening bar slots into.

Need a general pic to show location, and close-up pics to show structure.

The reason is that the upper hole appears to be missing on my van (!) and I need to figure out where it should go...

Cheers

put the doors on first and then the locking bar mechanism, then can mark where the hole goes

howdy pardner

yup thought so, but would be nice to have a look at how it "should" be done!

so when are we gonna get these doors on, then? ready when you are! (unless i can do them myself with some hired muscle and don't need your expertise?)

just had a look at some old shots and on second thoughts i think it may be further back

there maybe a plate or something missing from the back

someone kind has just posted on the LCV message board to say they think there is no hole, that the top of the bar just slides up behind the opening flange - he's going to check and post again

It doesnt just slide up past

on my low milegae original van the top bolt went into a hole with a plastic grommet to stop the rattle

hmmmm can't really tell much from that to help us out, what do you reckon?

the photo is taken looking along the top of the rear van gutter

you can see the bolt hole, it is the blue painted bit, simple

could not be much clearer

yeah i can see a round bolt hole. but did that van have another welded plate with a square hole in, anywhere, like mine's got?

Post by **aupickup** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 4:48 pm

crikey, the square hole you have is for the passenger side bolt, like i said when i was round your place

Post by **wibble_puppy** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 5:41 pm

yeah, i remember that, i remember most things you tell me

so the pic you posted is of a van which has two welded brackets, one with a square hole and one with a round hole?
