Another good video Dan but what I like is that, although you make a living from conversions, you are happy to share your tips and experience with us all and I appreciate that so thank you.

[@dantheman321]

KZbin is a great platform for us as a company to show that the conversions we do are all done to a high standard and that no corners are cut and that customers can have confidence in bringing there vehicles to us. I hope that the tips I give show that we have the experience to take on any conversion. The things that I point out sometimes are of great importance and if arent done correctly will cause issues later. Many thanks for your kind comments and many thanks for watching

Thanks for the video I admire your skill and attention to detail. Would you have any tips for van conversion buyers to look out for?

Hi great informative video a massive help. I'm fitting my own, and looks like we have same supplier whose installation information doesn't give a lot away. After seeing your video I'm confident to cut the roof knowing now exactly where the frame will sit. I'm not certain though where the holes for the rear hinge goes though. Is it ok to message you ?

[@dantheman321]

No problem Keith

[@keithcarroll6845]

@@dantheman321 Hi, so after I get the hole cut out and the frame fixed in position if I then got the new roof on top and settled more or less in it's final position.....would there be room to see the hinges and mark where their bolt holes will be?
