Got a new fuel and would like to give it a coat of paint to give it a bit of extra protection before I refit it. What paint would you reccomend to use.

Thanks everyone .

Are the early and later tanks identical in size shape etc except for the difference in filler neck diameter.

I need a new fuel tank for an early van . Any recommendations please. I know Brickwerks will be the obvious choice .

Can someone tell me why some Devon full length elevating roofs have 3 struts, one at the front and two at the back as mine has and yet some roofs have the 4 .

Hi, I need to replace the gas struts on my Devon poptop I have tried taking measurements but they all vary in length slightly probably because they are worn out. Anyone know what the correct ones should be reference numbers etc. My van has only 3 , one at the front and two at the back ,not 4 like so...

Hi ,sorry to hijack this thread but I'm also looking for the rubber seal that attaches to the underneath outer perimeter edge of the fibreglass Devon poptop roof that sits in or near the metal roof gutters of the van. The ones I have removed has a metal reinforcement running through the seal itself ...

Are these grommets supposed to be in there as it looks like mine are missing which let's out any water when I lift up the tailgate.

I have original style doorcard clips fitted to my ply interior panels but finding when trying to fit them they're not locking in tight and keep springing off. Can you get longer ones or any suggestions please.

I have water getting into my tailgate and sitting in the bott of it, it drains out of the drain holes in the corners when I lift it up. Apart from the usual suspect odd rusty areas around the window seal which I have done my best to try and prevent it getting any worse until I can get it cut out is ...

Hi ,is it worth painting the backs of new plywood panels with something like yacht varnish to help protect them from any water ,condensation or damp that might get to them.

I've used self adhesive foil backed foam and topped off with the diall loft insulation made from recycled plastic bottles from b&q.

Going to fit new interior foam and vinyl plywood panels. Would you recommend putting a plastic sheet vapour barrier between the panels and the body of the van. I have fully insulated all the cavities already.

Thanks everyone for your advice and pictures. Some great ideas there. Will look into these.

Thanks that would be great.
