we had a great time on the cruises,there is always plenty to do,on the med one it was different places every morning,plenty of grub if you want to you can stuff yer face for 24 hrs.some of the greedy gits almost did.carribean one was a bit different cos once you have seen one island you have seen them all.

Other than Ebay, any suggestions as to where I might be able to get some military door tops?

Yup I'll agree with that.
Cheers anyway, something to think about when funds are more available.

Hi,
I don't understand you.
Door bottoms rusted out along the top? They usually rust along bottom.
I assume you have spit window frame (aka door tops) from the doors.
Bottom of frames usually rust too. Many people fix a patch to inside of bottom of frame. This is a waste of time. The two bolts that stick out the bottom of the frame project abour 3" to 4" into the frame, and are welded at top and bottom. Thats where the strength comes from.
It is amazing the strength needed to hold a flapping door top closed, at 30mph. Even
1psi over 300 to 400 sq inches is a lot of pressure.

The original post was about the door bottoms the steel frame has pretty much gone. The Ally skin is fine, but the thread ended up moving on to door tops, Which I also need to replace.
There I hope that has cleared it up for you.
Any way I have found some repair sections for the bottoms so this is the route I'm going to take, and as per the tops I'm going to have to go with standard steel tops as I can't afford the ally ones.
