Title: Windowless Van support strut $$$ Post by: boss on April 30, 2015, 04:48:16 PM Still on the hunt for an original FE FC windowless van panel support strut, i need 1 of the 6 that were used to support the inside of the panels, i am
hoping that someone knows of a totally rusted out van that might still have one in it, there sometimes still in the van even when a window has been put in. i know that a little effort is required to drill out the spot welds on the tabs at the top and bottom so im happy to pay up to $300 for one of these. Regards Boss Title: Re: Windowless Van support strut $$$ Post by: fcwrangler on April 30, 2015, 06:33:19 PM I have a rusty FB van that has the bars still in place, if they are the same size one or two of them would be ok.
Jim Title: Re: Windowless Van support strut $$$ Post by: boss on April 30, 2015, 06:49:47 PM Hi Jim, not sure mate if they are as the FB has a higher roof but you can bet ill be checking it out.
Thanks Cliff Title: Re: Windowless Van support strut $$$ Post by: boss on April 30, 2015, 07:16:23 PM No Jim no such luck they are longer with a different shape but appreciate the thought thanks mate
Cliff Title: Re: Windowless Van support strut $$$ Post by: fcwrangler on May 01, 2015, 04:48:58 PM Have you thought of going to a fabricator and see if they can bend it up for you or talk to Pete(FCRB26) he may be able to help as he is a sheetie.
Jim Title: Re: Windowless Van support strut $$$ Post by: boss on May 01, 2015, 06:31:56 PM Yes Jim i spoke to a couple of sheeties but the strut has a slight curve the length of it on the side that sits up against the panel
and requires a specialist to fabricate, i have been told that its not cheap to do, so ill exhaust all avenues for an original one first i do have some basic skills to try and replicate but the time it would take to end up with something that didnt look perfect (or possibly a bloody mess) would not be worth the wasted effort. I am fastidious when it comes to original interior and panel work (not so for the drive line) so im hoping someone knows of one.
