Phil, what did you use to fix the badges to the jailbars?

Hi Simon,

I used 10mm stainless steel P-clips from here:

Very good service, and arrived next day

Cheers,

Phil.

Started the cab doors last night, and fitted the felt channel and glass

I'm pleased I decided to buy new glass, as this does make the difference :cheers:

I think I'll be having a massive OG glass sale over the winter months :wink:

Still got to try and re-do the quarter lights again........ :evil:

Any tips on putting the quarter light seals in Phil?

I used talc, and a plastic ice cream spoon from Blenhiem Palace (very important to have an ice cream when out for a walk :lol:

).

I don't have a pic, but I pushed it in by hand, and then held it in place with masking tape (wrapped around and around). Then I lifted up each side (between the masking tape), and pushed the middle section into the groove using the ice cream spoon :cheers:

(see I told you it was important :roll:

).

After it was all pushed into the middle, there was a bit more pushing (to make it bed in), and then I quickly closed the quarter light to hold it all in place :lol:

It just takes patience............(and a lot of swearing, so send the kids to bed :lol:

)

Phil.

p.s. Simon, will yours be ready for next weekend ???

Finally got to see your bus in the flesh Phil!! Great job, looked fantastic in the sunshine yesterday! I looked around for you but didn't see you to say hello! Congrats though dude looked awesome!!

OxonPhil · **Posted:** Fri Apr 06, 2012 9:17 pm

Thanks Kilgore

(sorry I missed you)

It was my first show in the new bus, and I got a really nice parking space (thanks Rikki

). It was a shame I didn't stick around much, and meet more members (but out little lad was a bit over tired, so we tried to find somewhere quiet at Sandown to let him get a sleep - which is not an easy task with that PA system :roll:

).

Anyway, somehow, I only managed to get a couple of snaps at the start of the day.....

It was a long day (but well worth it

). Driving home in the evening sun, I popped into work to get a new pic for my desktop :wink:

Sorted

Phil.

Hi Phill,
I see from way back in your thread that you used NOS door top frames. How did you attach your 1/4 light catch plates?

Hi Monkey Knuts,

I used nuts and bolts like these:

They worked really well
