Re: Sliding door seals
They're made up of 4 pre moulded corner pieces and 4 straight bits (to make up a square) one of the straight bits is too long so you'll need to cut it where it joins the corner and reduce it's length accordingly, super glue it back together. There's also a piece that fits where the latch goes so mak...

Re: Front wheels very hot
Should be able to hold your hand on them, if you can't they're too hot.
I assume you drive other cars? Touch one of the wheels on that to give you an idea.

Re: Sliding door seals
They will fit but you need to cut a section out, that's why they're £40 not £130 I guess?
Worth a punt though.

Re: Sliding door seals
They fit in a groove that goes all the way around the door aperture, there's also a 'channel' along the bottom that's almost always rotten. Glued in with contact adhesive is what I've done. I'm pretty sure they are 'handed' so can't see how they can be for either side unless I've misunderstood your ...

Re: Front wheels very hot
Or they're dragging a bit, let them cool down then see if they spin easily or still binding.
Piston could be stuck in which case a strip down could be in order, easier to replace with a new caliper sometimes.

Re: 1.9DG to 2.1DJ engine swap
You haven't got to swap any coolant pipes as the 'block ' is essentially the same. You will need all the early cooling system swapping over to the dj obviously but it's there already, the oil cooler/warmer thing needs plumbing in admittedly and having the metal pipes from the donor engine helps but ...

Re: Installing aftermarket rev counter / tacho into a petrol T25
That could be useful. Does it involve tapping into another wire, or do you need to mess with the blue plastic circuit? I think I'd rather mess the aftermarket tachometer than a 40 year old circuit board. Where have you taken the feed for the light from, just use the original one then when you 'turn...

Re: Installing aftermarket rev counter / tacho into a petrol T25
I'm guessing you've already connected the wiring for illumination but if you tap into the original clock lights it's then dimmable along with the others.

Just get one from Brickwerks then you'll know it's going to fit.

Re: Are these rock 'n roll hinges?
Floorboard panels are 'different'. Mmm, what do you mean by different? Are you saying if I fitted different panels, I could make it work (=move the couch backwards a little)? Well, they do seem a little overkill when it's common to use 3mm ply/hardboard but heh, who am I to judge? I doubt anything ...

Re: Lithium Leisure Battery
If possible I'd go with Titan batteries. They're the only people who I know of that have an established UK based company and specialise in batteries. There's also Fogstar and Roamer, but they are a Vape shop and camper van converters I've got a Fogstar Drift 105ah battery and so far seems pretty go...
