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 Sad.
     I am in Brisbane but willing to pay postage from anywhere.
      Any help would be much appreciated.
      Thanks.
          Brad.

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.

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

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.
