OT - bus restoration

Aug 02, 2003 5 Replies

Hi group Remember that bus I was restoring -

formatting link
outside is nearly complete, now working on interior. Ive carpeted theinterior walls over that 'o so seventies' fake wood veneer but am havingtrouble round the windows
formatting link
carpet goes right up to the edge of the window rubber but is unsightlywhere the carpet isnt 'flush' with the wood panel underneath. Bearing inmind the black you can see is rubber so isnt going to accept nails etc(!)and that the carpeted wood is only 1/8" thick plyboard with supportingstruts every now and then. Anyone have any ideas about some sort of'finisher', maybe a stick-on affair, narrow chrome plate strip, etc. thatmight do the job for me? Obviously it needs to be flexible too, to fitaround the curve of the windowApologies for being Off Topic but I cant really think of somewhere it*would* be on topic!TIA

It's probably too late now but could you not lap the rubber window seal over the carpet?.

Cutting the carpet slightly over size and tucking under the rubber would/should work.

Yawn... you can usually find them posting in newsgroups too - usually recognisable since they only post once. Go whine to your master, maggot

This was not me. Somebody is making mischief under my name. The message header read:

Abuse report sent this afternoon.

(From the real Jim Warren)

I know Jim - apologies if I didnt make it clear that it wasnt you. I know the maggot responsible

Thanks for the reassurance. Abusive messages are not my style, and it is good to know that the regulars in the NG realise this.

But I didn't want to end up in filter lists because of somebody else's contributions in my name. So whoever your maggot is, the abuse people at Energis will be looking into his/her activities.

Jim
