1 piece up and over rear door

Postby auldy » Sat Feb 11, 2017 9:47 pm

Hi,

Can a 1 piece rear door be fitter to a barn door version easy enough?

Or do mounting points etc need to be fabricated?

Next question, anyone got a nice single piece door for sale?

cheers

you'd need the top panel above the door where the hinges fit but basically yes its the same and will fit :D

done this years ago on my first mk2 swb, chopped the mechanisum out of a lwb and had the rear door, it did all fit in, took some time though,
put a side door in it too :wink:

Have a look on German ebay as they are breaking a lot of Fire vans out there.
