Cheers clay,

this is the cross member I have. Notice the two engine mounts, I was told they are for 186 and 202? I have'nt had any experience with hr stuff and compatibility knowledge, though I am mechanically minded (aircraft maintainer on choppers). Regarding the position of the mounts would I keep them in thi...

Thanks rob, your info is GOLD mate :thumbsup: My thoughts are know playing with a 186 or 202 as both mounts are on the cross member.

Hi all,

Installed Flocked type bailey channel with no real drama, but the the door belts were a bit more challenging. Not much room to manipulate the second strip and
the distance between the them will make the window a tight fit. Is this usual when replacing ?

Lex, your seals are a very different profile to mine - but have the same Rares part number. Got me beat!

Steved57, I haven't glued them yet...here is my interpretation of the installment; The seal has a small c - channel profile that I have assumed allows for the 7 raised ' bumps" where the metal strip tabs originally sat. The only flat side of the seal contacts up against the inner side wall of t...
