Going to try & fit my unwin tracking & floor tomorrow if the weathers not to bad.

Just remembered the missing part is from the rear right at the bottom of the sliding door when it's fully open just at the end of the wheelarch

The sound deadening stuff is this bought herehttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220649059457
Cannot say if it works yet as until I get my rear flooring & seats sorted I cannot drive it, will update when I have taken it for a spin.

Thanks for that vanmanloki, all sorted now
I jetwashed mine & borrowed the misses & daughters hairdryers to ensuse it was dry before refitting over sound deadening material.

Taken me all day to get the 4 bits of unwin tracking holes drilled lol
I've put all the bolts, washers & nuts on hand tight for now.

Just trying to work out how to lay the plyboard for the floor
As the traking is low profile & not surface mount
It needs to be cut around the tracking & i'm not that good at cutting straight lines lol

Mate that makes two of is who can't cut straight!

Did you clip seats to unwin strips before drilling holes thru floor?

What bolts n spreaders are you using to bolt down Ron?

[vanmanloki]

no worries dude

Did you clip seats to unwin strips before drilling holes thru floor? YES 100%, also seat legs are currently 100% adjustable where they attach to the seat, once my floor is 100% done & my seats are finally adjusted to fit, then I will weld the legs to the seats so they cannot move in transit. (As they will be removed when needed)

What bolts n spreaders are you using to bolt down Ron?

As mentioned earlier I bought the M8 x 100 Fasteners kit direct from Unwin cost £49.75 ex delivery (Bolts are M8x45 with penny washers)

I will have many bits left over, so will offer all excess parts to forum members as a 1 off job lot 1st b4 eBay

Currently will have 3 lenghts of track approx 1.7 each & guessing 25-35 countersunk bolts, penny washers & nylon nuts, they are not the usual 8.8 strenth bits either, they are all 10.9 I think, will check & confirm when I put them up for sale for COST price.

IN reverse order, still ill (Throat cancer, dealing with it)

Pics taken of progress but a pain in the arse to upload now, so won't upload until floor complete, then will update & upload all pics
I don't understand the 1st sentence, 'might be too late for me then' hence the reverse order

If your ok with selling the M8's, nuts and washers separately let me know please as I will have them, as in the slow process of fitting some seats to my van, let me know as soon as you know other wise I will just use the ones I have that are 8.8's,or might go and get some from a local place as I would prefer the stronger one's cheers Adrian.
