Sliding doors front

[downhill]

Hello Beddites, I have four front sliding doors and none have any lower guides. I have rollers, some locks, no keys, odd inside handles. Has anyone found lower guides, made them even, or can send me a photo of them? I'm not seeing many sliding door examples around, makes me love mine even more, but the coolest part of the van must work properly. Have not stumbled across anything overseas. Please other slider owners can you help? Just go straight to my e-ddress, perryc3@hotmail.com.au if you like, or txt 0432676450. I live in Redcliffe, if you are a local and want to drop by and see my project.351,C4,9inch and standard spares van . Thanks, downhill. You gotta push uphill to get the downhill thrill!

ok Graig
I climbed under the van this morning to get some pics of the lower slider brackets for you.
First two are as there were covered in dirt n grease, then i cleaned the back one for you to show the nylon spacer block Ray made for all four sets.
Cleaning of dirt and regreasing is a regular maintance must with the sliders...as they start to become very hard to slide otherwise..ray eckons i put to much grease on them as every time he crawls under the van he has blobs of grease on him 
i just find it makes them soo much easier to slide open and the grease tends to gather up in big blobs.
Gotta love the beddie unconditional hey

and these are two pieces we gather are for the bottom brackets but are different to ours.
I think these came with the two sliding doors we got from Rob at bedford manner
have a look and if you think they are useful you can have them

Ok I have a Q. what would be involved in converting the side cargo door from a hinge to a slider, same as the chevy van. BUT it would have to be done in a way that is neat and tidy, not ugly looking, something that would blend into the side of the beddy. Of all the custom beddies i have seen that is the one mod i have never seen. Any thoughts guys.

Why re-invent the wheel...... Go to a wrecking yard (that can walk around) & have a look there at people movers.
May even be able to get the "bits" you need!
