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

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.

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.

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.
Regards
Cliff

John from Just Rust in Western Australia did some for my Van years ago.
Maybe worth a try.
