Operation respray

[baz]

Hi Wendy,
I have just bought a Beddy & is due to arrive next week. Looks pretty straight (but you never know). Needs a respray & was wondering if you can pass on the name & contact details of the person who did yours?

Thanks,

baz

Our 3yr old radiator started falling apart...found an aluminum 3 core one on ebay for $150.
Not enough room for the mechanical fan...had to mount brackets out of rods to support 7.5 inch motor bike electric fans, since we were left with minimal  millimeters left..😒😞
Even shaved off the water pump bolt ....anything was worth s shot....

Ray fitted a 160 degree thermostat... took the van fora 3 hour run on a warm day.
Sat between 160 and 175  on freeway and in newcastle traffic...so pretty happy with the radiator and electric fans..might have too keep a spare on on hand thou....

7years ago when we purchased the van we fitted some 20 mm squre rubbbers to the body to try and seal the doors...
As sliding doors are really hard to seal...

[wendyh]

Did a bit of research...and ordered in quite a few samples....
Came up with this pichweld that we fitted to the doors instead of the body...
and seals heaps better 😄
