Hard Top 88 Sides for sale or swap?

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.

New Zeland? Yea... too far.

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?

on an 88? it'd make an interesting new style.

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.

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.

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!

--SNIP--

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.

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?
