Works on this are progressing slowly, too many side projects, and despite the fact that the first tour is planned in a month.

But today I took the chance to open up the covering of the two front doors to put in a prick stop (not what you think, but a piece of metal to make it less easy to break into the car. Also put Alubutyl in the doors to reduce vibration noises, and prepared the speakers to be exchanged for better ones. Who needs a bed in a van if you got a decent sound system?

Prick Stop sounds exactly like the right name for its function.

[endo]

stops pricks from pricking into your car

[Giles]

As opposed to cock blocking......

[goosehd]

@Giles Thats what happens when you knock on the door when you see the van rocking.

[Giles]

Which in my case would obviously be for less than 3 seconds.......

put in the first window, shit part was to prepare the wooden frame, rest was ok

just a really weird moment when you drill the first hole into the car

but in the end all worked fine

[Giles]

Nice

The 2nd window was much easier. When you know how to do it ...

I bet Transport for London can't wait to photograph it in September, right @endo?

[endo]

haha @EdH not going there again

[jordanscollected]

Those windows are look really nice @endo. What makes them water and air tight? is there an adhesive or material between the wood frame and the window?

[Mizmazzle]

@endo impressive!!

[endo]

@jordanscollected like most mountings in such a car they are glued not bolted. It's basically the tightening pressure between the outer and inner frames and two different adhesives (the outer with more sealing - Dekaseal 8936 - and the inner with more adhesive properties - Sikaflex 221). Bolt/Screws could loosen due to the vibrations, and there is an amazing variety of glues nowadays.
