Measurement of Sliding Door Inner Sill Track Needed...

£50. And I like it's a "JK Exclusive" on their site when what they've done is copied a poorly made repro...

 

Inner Sill 88mm Tall

Middle Sill 88mm Tall

?????

 

So would it be logical to assume that the middle sill should be taller 5mm - 10mm ? to enable the outer sill to fit properly ?
If this is the case i might be on the phone in the morning.....

 

Perhaps they changed over the years. My picure is a 68. @Rickyroo has OG late sills still attached, perhaps he'd take a picture.

 

Mine is an early 73 , if both the inner and middle sill sit up against the underside of the floor (at the rear) then unless the middle sill is taller, they will finish level , which wont work . Or am i missing something here .....

 

No I'm with you just not really in the mood for supplier bashing today. The outers also tend to get a bit long at the ends but nothing a tap with a hammer won't sort as you fit. Parts are crap and many barely serviceable, but that's just how it is as I'm sure you realise.

 

I'm not bashing suppliers , i'm just a little annoyed that i've welded it all up now and i will now have to modify it . If the part has been made wrong then i will ask for a refund , i just want to be sure it's the part that's wrong and not the part fitter...

 

That's why I tried to @rickyrooo1 to take a pic, or anyone reading with an original late. Only earlies in my workshop at the mo.

 

i've just seen the post, if you tell me exactly what to take i'll help of course, but i'm just off to work now and it's still a bit dark, should be ok tonight though unless someone else with an original metal van comes on during the day, let me know.

 

Take a pic like the one of mine up there ^ with a jacking point and the pressings that let the water out.

 

Cheers guys

 

Hi mate. If you want to have a proper measure up of anything, your welcome to come look at my van.
I can't be that far from you.

 

I'm in chalgrove if that helps.

 

Nice one Oscar , I'm over in Abingdon . I worked in Chalgrove for 17 years up until march this year !

 

Small world. Just give me shout if you want to pop over.
Where did you work?

 

Graham Plastics next to Desking Systems

 

Ahh the bottle factory. I worked at deskings in my yoof.

Sorry. I've dragged you off topic.

Not sure if these are what you need? They're all I have on my phone at the moment.

 

Cheers Oscar , great to know you're local , I'm sure i'll be over at some point for some advice
