Title: FC Van upright pillars (stiffeners) Post by: Brad on April 29, 2006, 11:46:13 PM Looking for THREE of the upright pillars (stiffeners) that are on the inside of the van .They stop the side of the van from wobbling around. Of the six that are on the van I am after the three on the passengers side.
One of the side cuts that I bought to remove the windows from my van has the three missing :(. I am in Brisbane but willing to pay postage from anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Brad. Title: Re: FC Van upright pillars (stiffeners) Post by: FATBOY on April 30, 2006, 04:23:56 AM just measure them up and go to a sheet metal workshop and get them to fold you some up
cheers fatboy Title: Re: FC Van upright pillars (stiffeners) Post by: Brad on May 01, 2006, 06:17:14 AM Exactly what I thought when I saw they weren't there before I bought the sides. But when I unpicked the right hand side to take down as a template I realised that the folded edge is curved. So it's not as straight forward as I thought.( no pun intended).
Thanks anyway fatboy. Brad Title: Re: FC Van upright pillars (stiffeners) Post by: Brad on May 15, 2006, 07:24:42 AM Just a quick note to boost this post

Thanks Brad Title: Re: FC Van upright pillars (stiffeners) Post by: nicko on May 15, 2006, 10:17:37 AM just an idea, but might work,
get the uprights folded with longer sides and trim the sides down to your curve and weld the flat bottom to curved sides and then install. will save a lot of waiting for original ones to turn up cheers Nick ;) Title: Re: FC Van upright pillars (stiffeners) Post by: Brad on May 13, 2008, 09:47:15 PM Boost
Still looking. Thanks Brad Title: Re: FC Van upright pillars (stiffeners) Post by: spanner on May 15, 2008, 07:37:56 AM When I done the sides on my van, I had these sections pressed. I didn't worry about the slight curve. I just put a bead of sicaflex down the inside and pushed it into position and welded them in. Can't really notice the gap.
You could get the metal worker to roll a slight curve in them after he presses them if you wanted. Graham |
