Re: Table legs

Thanks for the reply, our table unfortunately cant have the original legs as it has a set of short ones (about 5 inch) which make it too low to get your knees under when resting on the edges, and if you add one of the long ones it then sits at a strange lopsided angle. They all have the flexible fee...

Table legs

Hi, we have a table with our Portafold which came with a selection of dansette style legs but none of them are the correct height to use the table in the van.

Can anyone advise us what length the legs should be, and has anyone found suitable replacements?

Thanks

Door window seal

Our window seal is not correct and holds water which then seeps through the join into the van.

Has any one replaced this and if so what did you use? I did see a photo of someone's van and the window seal had a chrome insert which looked great but now I cant find it.

Thanks

Marie

Re: Filling holes in fibreglass

Thanks Matthew, our van is the original yellowy creamy colour, is there a colour reference or Ral code that you know of to match to?

Wall hinges

I know this subject has been covered before but replacing all the wall hinges is another job which we need to do quite urgently, the picture shows what we have, the original hinge pins are all missing and sometime in the past a previous owner has added another set of alternative hinges which have al...

Done it!

This is probably the largest hole. I have looked on various fibreflass suppliers and there is so many different options, help! please.

Filling holes in fibreglass

Now we have a Portafold we need to start fixing it up, the fibreglass doesn't seem too bad and there are only a couple of spider cracks on the roof so although a full respray may happen sometime in the future we would like to keep it as is for the time being. There are however a few holes (not all t...
