I think there is a product called "Captain Tolley's leak seal" or summat. Popular on camping car forums.Also can anyone reccomend tips for sealing up the typical windscreen leak?![]()
good stuff......I think there is a product called "Captain Tolley's leak seal" or summat. Popular on camping car forums.
Quite easyI'm guessing you can weld? As mentioned, your correct in saying that's the seat belt mount. Arch repair kits are available with it already tacked in. The bonus of that is it's already 'curled' to the profile of the arch. I used one on mine (although I welded it the wrong way up) mine won't be having rear seats though so not too much bother. How difficult is it to remove rear quarters from these?
Rear outer quarter panel to access the inner side panels?
LR workshop manual definitely worth having as it shows you how to do it. I have the big paper one SRR660ENWM, not cheap but worth its weight! I THINK some of it is on the internet.
Mine was easy & took it off complete with the corner panels that hold the rear lights.
Various nuts & bolts that need to be undone which are easily visible as you look around the panel inside & outside apart from the 2 little studs on a plate that are inside the wheel arch. These will almost certainly shear but are easily makeable.
Open the bottom tailgate & you can see where the corner panels are pop riveted to the body. Drill their heads off.
Check you've got everything & be aware that there is mastic/sealant involved so go carefully.
You don't need to do anything to the rear side glass or the upper corner panels (the ones with the vinyl).

Not even sureWhat's hiding under the air filter in your engine pic?

And dont mention the door seals, they are getting replaced so I'm not to stressed...![]()
When you get to that stage can you explain the procedure? I want to replace mine (thankfully without the need for bodywork repairs) but even at my age it's a job I've never tackledThanks in advance.
Find a skilled welder and buy him a pint or two,he will show you how to set up the welder parameters. once they are right,the welds will be much better and easier for you. Also remember that MIG welding is less tolerant to rust and dirt because there is no flux to clean the parent material. Use a wire brush before and after assembly.
