I have a set of these "deepest ever....canyon deep" deep dish 203s and they seem no different than the "normal' 203s I have, other than the dish and rivet positions. I would agree with optical illusion.

Re: Window Slide Channel

I now have a slight dilemma, maybe a member here can help. The pvc channel in the dimensions needed is not available here in SA, but some companies are willing to extrude but at exorbitant costs. I have found a manufacturer in Ipswich that already has the tooling and can make a 500m run at gbp.50/me...

Re: Window Slide Channel

Today I measured up the window channel requirements to refurbish all my Series sliding windows.....44m! and that is excluding the IIIS. (haven't yet decided on what configuration it will be, but I think its time for a soft top)

I'll have to find a local supplier.....

Re: Window Slide Channel

Thanks Wildebees.

I'm going for 1/2" x 1/2" PVC, OD. I see on UK and USA sites that it is a common size. Everything here is metric, except old Land Rovers. :lol:

Re: Window Slide Channel

Das, the OEM lookalike stuff is available here, but it doesn't last, max 5 years, and I'm getting tired of redoing them, "them" being 3 sets of front door windows, 2 behind cab and 2 for a station wagon. Wildebees, do you have more info on the plastic channels? The channeling in the pic is from a De...

Re: 9.00x16 equivalents

I am budgeting for a coil spring conversion, but only in the new year, I'll see how things go. Having said that, if you have any connections who could do the job, any info would be appreciated. 35" tyres from MAXXIS is a reasonable and rather cheaper option at this stage, I would think. Yes, I do k...
