Spare wheel door

Post by Errol62 »

Having a look at a commercial spare wheel door this arvo. Any advice on price for one in fair condition. Some rust in corners. They want $150. Mine is 40% rust. I see fibreglass repros are $250 and earlybits has the latches for about $400!

Taylors in Bundamba do rust repair panels. You can find them on gumtree, don't know what there stuff is like but have heard good reports.

BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR PANELS


The production of our rust panels were introduced to the trade in the late 60’s and proved to be popular so we established distributors around the country.


Shortly after, the panels were introduced to G.M.H who, upon inspection, allocated part numbers for each panel and listed them in their parts catalogue.

Thanks Russell
Didn't know they did the doors. If so that is very reasonable. Oz EK is sending me a repairer but I will check them out none the less. Very helpful. Much appreciated. Love this forum.

Cheers

Thanks to oz_ek for sending me this spare wheel door. Mainly rusted at the bottom as you would expect. For some reason mine is rusted at the top more.

Should be able to make one good one. Happy camper.Image
