Sliding Door Upper Nylon Block
Posted: 01 Feb 2018, 20:09
I bought an air cooled 1982 van last year which I'm slowing stripping down to refurb and fit out as a camper.
I'm taking note of issues as I go and making a list of parts too. I'm quickly learning that even some of the simple parts are hard to find.
One of the first parts I noticed missing was the nylon block which runs in the upper sliding door channel (not the roller bearing fitted on later models). I've been trying to get hold of one for about 10 months, with no luck so far. VW part number 251 843 423.
It's such a simple part and I'm planning on making one myself, but I can't find the dimensions for it either.
So, does anyone know where I can buy one or know the dimensions, or even have a drawing so I can make one myself?
Thanks,
Andy.
