| sliding by-pass
hi- I had same problem with my '72, decided to go with sliding doors. I made top and bottom tracks by putting 2 saw kerfs in a strip of wood that I then fit and glued into the metal channels, then simply used formica as the doors themselves. I do not plan on keeping loose heavy items in these compartments while traveling, but if you do you might want something thicker and stronger than formica. Just one way to go, simple and light, no hardware. If you wanted a CCD effect you could use that translucent plastic panel used in flourescent light fixtures, with a small light inside the compartment. Overlander 63 has a good idea too, probably many other options if you are creative.PM me if you want more info on my idea- Tim
