Afternoon all!! Had a frustrating day trying to fit my front outer n inner step. Ive been using vh heritage panels, and to be honest iam strugglung to get them to fit!! I know there repo ones but iam ripping my hair out today trying to line them up Now iam expecting to have to continue fettling these buggers, has anyone got any tips or pics to help? Iam tempted to bin these 2 parts, iam not here to moan bout heritage as a lot of there stuff ok, if i choose to bin these parts does anyone know from personnel experiance a good fitting inner and outer front step
They never fit right at all dude your best off fitting a complete arch and step Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
Yeah i was kinda thinking that there 50 quid at jk I suppose i could recoup my loss by putting these on ebay
VWH did do a better quality step , it was dearer but a far better fit , i would aso give Alan Schofield a ring they do some better quality panels
Another vote for fitting a complete genuine arch. Those steps are the spawn of the devil. I refuse to fit them if asked.
A customer provided one for me once so I had a go. The two parts didn't fit together and neither bit fitted the van. After wasting a morning I squashed them with my lump hammer and ordered a complete arch. On another note, they don't look like they'd last long even if you got them fitted.
Totally agree zed the inner n outer dont match up along the bottom seam nor along the too join, the quality of the inner is SHOCKING and the outer will not line up with my original profile of my arch! Grrrrrrrr. Think i might have to order the combined inner n outer jobbie from vwh and see how that fits, if it dont ill return it i guess
i have no idea what these are like but maybe someone on here has fitted them soz i lnked to the wrong item :-[ back in a mo these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Wheel-Arch-RH-VW-TRANSPORTER-T2-73-79-/280754238286?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item415e41b34e

Thanx for that poptop Iam having one of my wanna set fire to my van days, i swear my mental state is a direct reflection of my resto progress
yeah it does fella my van is my sanity focus which keeps my brain occupied, except when shes being a bitch like today!
Bit of advice , post up in your resto thread and always ask what the score is re buying panels , this lot advised me wonderfully , bit late now i know and i am sorry to compound your misery but it really is worth asking as there is some real poor fitting panels out there .
Cheers fella ironic thing is this is my last bit of welding!!!!! Grrrrr. Everything else done, but a good point ive had my fair share of Marmitee panels past few years
