I just bought a RHD Series III with no side windows in the hard top. I
realize now that it would be difficult to merge without them. Do you
have any side to a hard top for sale or any suggestions?

I have heard that some shops would like to trade sides so they can use
the space to advertise on the side of their trucks.

Stating where you are located might get you a few more meaningful
replies.  I have a complete 88" SW hard top but I am somewhat doubtful
if it's location (174.49E, 36.56S)will be convenient for you.

I have several sets of 109" CSW rear side panels with sliding windows and
one set with aftermarket windows which will all fit as Lee says. Near
Manchester.

Sorry mate, I'm in the UK.

VA?, I take it that's Virginia.  If you fancy a ride out, pop over after
lunch tomorrow and I'll give you a throw on with them. :-)

Hi Martin.
I'm within reach of Manchester UK. :-)
I'd be interested in a pair of CSW sides if you've got any to spare.
How much do you want for them?

Cheers

YHM, I think, there's something amiss with my address, if you receive the
e-mail you will notice it is different but valid.

If you get some decent mirrors then driving with van sides is no
hassle. My 101 was transofrmed by some big curved mirrors rather than
the std flat ones.

You could always fit windows yourself if you cant find any sides that
already have them. The seal you need is generic standard stuff and you
can have glass cut to fit.

Do you have rear windows?
jj@burfordadvertising.com - 26 Mar 2007 21:54 GMT
Yes I have rear windows.

I've put a small window in the near-side of Edward II.  It came from the
partition in a sherpa van, and is ideally suited.

Hiya,

I have a LWB SIII van with no side windows that I want to convert into an 11
seater, so would need windows.  Am I right in thinking it's just a case of
ordering some sliding wiondows and dusting off the angle grinder to cut an
apature to fit?  I think there are some supporting struts on the inside
which I was just going to cut through and bend flat on each edge where they
meet the newly cut hole?

Am I being daft or is it really that simple?

TIA,

Nick

Dunno, depends on how you imagine you're going to configure your 11
seats! Four down each side and three across the front? Coz the
'standard' 2+3+3+3 isnt going to work without SW rear doors!

I was going for the existing 3 in the cab, two more front facing behind
that, and whatever benches I can get behind those.  the idea being the two
forward facing behind the cab seats could fold away, but leave space between
them for the pasengers to get in/out.  Not ideal, but it'll do.

So it'll be 3+2+3+3

:o)

I have no idea whether this is complete bollocks (as I apparently
often spout) but do you think you might need to check with your
insurance company first? I'd *guess* that they might have a problem
with that - CSW's have more accessibility to their 11 seat
permutation, and of course were designed that way. Surely their
notional risk insured on a 3-seat van is lower than a home-made eight
further seats, of which all eight only have one means of exit?

Yeah, maybe, but I'll worry about that once the work is done, got to get
them damn thing running first!  Only thought top mention as the OP had a
similar question.
