Catch 22 LBDR Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Hi Ross , Lovely to see her progressing so nicely , Could I ask where you got the window channel from please ? Best wishes Andy:-D Thanks Andy. Most of the parts I had, cant get the rail that the window slides on though. Might have to get that made unless I can find someone with one for a door. Hope this helps. https://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/products/486-brass-h-channel-small-chair https://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/products/709-brass-channel-bottom-channel Edited June 24, 2016 by Catch 22 LBDR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch 22 LBDR Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Since Quads were only fitted with one brake light and one tail light, and in different locations it gives me a little bit of artistic license when bring it up to modern safety standards. I took an idea from some ww2 pictures and adapted it with period lights. One side will have the number plate on and the other will be a unit flash. Tell me what you think?

Catch 22 LBDR Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 how are you going to put the cross pressings into the seat pans ? Pete I'm not. There is a tool called a bead roller for doing them, but I don't have one...... yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Ashby Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'm not. There is a tool called a bead roller for doing them, but I don't have one...... yet. Useful bit of kit can be used for all sorts of things, I missed one in a closing down sale a few years ago, sadly went well beyond price I could justify :-( had a full set of different sized rollers to match.

Tamber Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 It'd also be possible to do them without a bead-roller; but it's a little more work to do it neatly. Basically, you'd be looking at a block of hardwood with a groove of the appropriate profile cut in it; and a rounded bit of bar (a cold chisel rounded over and smoothed would be about right) that's a bit narrower than the profile of the groove. Clamp the pan firmly to the block of wood, with the groove lined up with where you want to put the bead, and start pounding the metal down into the groove, using the rounded bar and a hammer. Definitely more work, though. (Do some practise pieces first, too; unless you're like me, and just jump straight into the thick of it to see how it goes. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch 22 LBDR Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 I did give it a go with a similar method using a bearing press, but it just wasn't good enough. I will post up my attempts latter.:undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch 22 LBDR Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 So, fitted the lights and number plate after giving the back a good coat of paint. It looks much better now. I think I will fit flat lenses in the future. I also fitted the rear right locker door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
