Filling the pocket

Jan 27, 2004 6 Replies

Over these lo many years, the bitty guide wheel at the top of the Wonderbus's sliding door has gradually pounded a little pocket in the guide track when the door is in the fully upright and closed position. Now, when the door is closed, the little wheel rattles. I did a temporary fix by layering duct tape in there, but it's wearing out quickly and the rattle is returning. 'Bout to drive me loony.



What's the RAMVA-approved pocket-filling compound?

Try POR putty. Dries hard as steel, should last a good long time. Try spackling it in there with a paint stirrer, and get it good and smooth, then I would recomend painting it with por-15, then the color of your bus. (Unless there's no paint in there...) ~Anthony

its a VW its an unwritten rule you need to use JB weld somewhere ...this seems like a good spot.

Compound?? What are you suggesting? a ramva approved bondo-clone? chemicals? In this newsgroup there is room only for pure metallic solutions! Learn to weld, boy! in metal we trust! death to the bondo!

Hahaha.......of course I'm joking.

I would also like to know if there is a non-evil putty according to the trusty old ramva.

How about Bondo to fill it in and a strip of sheet metal tacked on top to give it strength....YBMV
