Gasket made for the drip strip. Old inner tube, a steel rule, and a 6mm hole punch.

Glass is back in, and will have to wait overnight for the sealer to go off. Handle and drip edge installed too. Almost finished now.

Painted the heads of the coach bolts for fixing the flap, and made some rubber washers to seal the backs of them.

Well, I’m going to say that’s done for now.
The locking rods need some adjusting as they don’t engage with the sockets as smoothly as they could, and the gap from the drop edge to the tailgate is bigger that I’d hoped for, but then the tailgate is quite twisted.
All in all I’m happy with the result, and Mandy is now fairly water-tight and lockable.
If anyone would like any more details, just ask.
Many thanks to @lynall for letting me take his series cat-flap apart a few times for measuring.
Cheers, Jim

It’s very unlikely I’d ever do that as it’s a lot of work. I might add up what it cost just for fun though.
