Fitting whistle stops
Hi all. I've just ordered some whistle stops but I'm a little uncertain where they fit. Do they fit onto the cab door itself or the channel that runs down the van directly in front of the door? Cheers!

Re: Fitting whistle stops
If you mean the rubberised blades with four mounting points - they are mounted on the body to fill the gap between the door and the end of the front wing (if you can call it a wing).
They are not a simple fit as the vans that they were fitted to had specific points on the body for the 2 of the self-tapping screws to go into.
It should not be too difficult to get around the missing bumps with some spacers and long screws.
I have to do the same at some point but the task is on my roundtoit list.
