@Daniel-San said in the (new) endomobile:

cool Numberplate

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.

Oh, Sikaflex. I go through gallons of Sikaflex 291i.....

[Aetas]

Sikaflex is ‘Dichtstoff’. Love it!

[EdH]

I thought it was Viagra for Dichtstoff?

Did some minor works on the bus today, quite useful though.

Some stuff to secure the car from the in- and from the outside.

and put some protection over the OBD so the immobiliser can't be overcome easily

[endo]

replace the shitty glove box (one of three) by a decent cup and bottle holder

[endo]

put in wind deflectors

and a blind for the front shield

[Giles]

Looks menacing.....

[Tago Mago]

coming together nicely @endo

[endo]

[Tago Mago]

@endo already booked the ferry for September?

[endo]

no, thanks for the reminder

[Aetas]

Nice tagging above the Boxer @endo !

[endo]

Changed the double-seater bench for a (more comfortable and turnable) single seat. Easy, just some hassle with the build-in electronic safety devices (airbag sensors, belt pretensioner) but managed to get it going.

So now we are ready to go. Will be starting in a few hours towards Brittany.
