yea i think there from the back of a sherpa mini bus there to flat for transit seats and the frames at the bottom are not the same as transit frames if you look at a transit seat side on they curve back a bit at the top were as those seats are flatter they are similar but the front seats in my van came out of an 84/85 van and the trim pattern is not the same as yours i recon your seats have come out of a 200 series sherpa not an ldv because as you say there 1986 seats. as for you wiper hole you can do it two ways, you can cut out a square around the wiper holes and use these bits to re weld in the rhd place and then just cut out two more squares to fill in were the old wiper holes are the hardest part of doing it this way is getting the new holes in the right place. if you fit a complete scuttle panel it will be out of another van which could also need some repair and when you cut the one out of your van it could open a can of wirms and unless you dont wont to join the old with the new above the wing corners then your have to cut the corners of the wings off because they are welded in behind the wings so unless you cut the tops of the wings off you cant get in there to weld it in i would do it the way i said first

[oldyellar]

Just asked the expert

[Vandalism]

[madmark]

Right what you need is a mk1 rhd wiper motor complete ,the measurements are exactly the same but the opisit if that makes sence ,

ok thanks - and asfar as a scuttle i think i can get hold of a mk2 one

[adam 120 ex aa]

putting a hole scuttle in is a lot of work to put the hole thing in complete the tops of the wings will have to come off or you join it up around the top edge above the wings but these are a common rot spot so when you come to weld it you could end up blowing holes in it and then you may have to end up taking the tops of the wings off any how, take it from me ive been doing this nearly 25 years if you wont il come and move the holes over for you?

[pat stevens]

id take that offer up itll save you a lot of hard work

[madmark]

As i have said why do you need to change the scuttle ? On mine its fine on all the others i have converted its fine,the best of show transit mania did that have a scuttle no so just drill the holes

thanks adam - i havnt got a wipermotor unit and linkages yet - but when i do i might take up your offer

[madmark]

Or you could just leave them were they are if you are happy with them

[Vandalism]

its actually very inconvenient for the driver when its raining as it only clears lalf the drivers view - which is quite dangerous somtimes - so i want to eventually change it
