I would aim for the centre of the box in that case.
You could put a tube sleeve in the gap. You'll need something so the skin doesn't squash in or you won't get a water tight seal and it will leak water in.
I'll either do tube or some studs either side to stop crumple everything's easy if you have all right bits but so many diffirent bits got to adapt everything
I hadn't noticed the cross piece for the second fix wasn't thereAh I see what you mean; I just assumed box the same as the other parts lower down. I'll have to have a look when get there in a minute. I still need to make the bracket for the second fix on my motor to stop it twisting but all this is doable now I have a measure haha couldn't find measurements anywhere!
I got a never fitted door cheap anyway so I can't complain too much!
Let you know how much of nightmare it is
Are you going to weld a piece in? The measurements for the hole won't need to be too precise. The closest my wiper blade gets to the door frame, in the arc it creates across the glass, is about 3cm to the handle side of the glass.
Nice. That's a project for the future. Cheers.
That looks pretty simple and same lock as mine, what central locking kit did you use and how much was it? Where did you run your new wiring?
That looks impressive.View attachment 121927 View attachment 121928 View attachment 121929
Used some U steel and made a brace either side packed out with some penny washers as like you said al, no bracket; doubled the second one as the fixing point for the motor too. Easier than I thought it'd be! Watch it won't line up with the trim now
Cheers for help! Defo gana do the central locking mod too! Looks too easy not to, especially when doing front doors be a shame not to aha.
Have you fitted an immobiliser or alarm to your 300 tdi Al? I was thinking of making some dead switches for starter etc or just getting a kit?
Mine is only a 1990. Was v8 then upgraded 300 tdi so immobiliser I think nada hahaThat looks impressive.
Yeah the central locking was easy to do. I did mine a while after I finished the rebuild, so didn't bother with the back as it was a little more involved. Will probably do it in future though.
Being a 96 (perhaps being a CSW) model mine already had an immobiliser and alarm fitted, so can't help much there.
Do you have light switches on the door A posts?
Forgot about the Tdci bulkhead! All that wiring sounds like a bit of a pain to sort. Great once done though! Good luck with the clocks!Mine is only a 1990. Was v8 then upgraded 300 tdi so immobiliser I think nada haha
The courtesy light when open door? Yes since I've put a tdci bulkhead it's got those in and most of the wiring for central locking up to the doors. Not sure if it will have the signal receiver in and just be missing the fob to make work? Never looked much into locking and alarms to be honest seems like it can be dead easy or really hard haha.
I got new handles, and was going to do window motors and central locking all in one go since as said wiring is there. Where the wiring goes is yet to be solved haha
Was hoping to do clocks and warning lights etc this weekend put td5 ones in but they haven't turned up thinking a ebay scammer...
I've also thought about those proximity alarms but be annoying if always going off. I don't want to have a for for locking fob for alarm etc though be bit of a mare! I don't know if the wiring and signal receiver is already in the bulkhead or not. Gana have to ask Gatso or someone who's done similar if it is I could just wire an actuator and get a fob made to the signal that runs. Seems like witchcraft to be honest
