Hi Stu, I’m a locksmith based in Bridgend based and do van locks and security, as well as ignition keys etc. I have on some vehicles also converted back from Slam locks to original spec. The cables should still be the same. Just the cylinder becomes your handle. However sometimes the companies installing remove brackets and rods. Rather then leave in the door etc. Can always arrange to attend to help in anyway I can.
I flipping take my hat off to you. Your business is booming, love watching both channels. Jealous of the flashy showers as I’m still waiting for my other half to finish mine.
Gosh Stu, it's amazing how far you have come in just a few months - quality work pulling in the customers. I'm still plodding along with daughter's - truma combi goes in this weekend ☺️ Enjoy your hols 👍
Honestly so pumped to see how this has developed into a thriving business. Well done to you. Shows how hard work and attention to detail pays off. If I'm ever in the market for someone to do a conversion for me then I know where I'll be coming. 👊🏻👍🏻
So happy for the new business kicking ass and taking names stu Hope be be buying new van later this year i will get in touch with you when i get it coz im gona wana send it from ireland to you to work your magic If that a possability. Any way live watching the vids Thanks for sharing and showing your talent with all of us Dave from ireland
Hi ,we’re enjoying your van builds,with only a tiny touch of jealousy about your units,currently building ours in the lovely welsh outdoors,can I ask If you know if it might stop raining 😊,no what I wanted to ask about your heavy duty runners on the ducato toilet build ,do you have a link to where to get some are the pricey?
Hi Stu Busy, busy!! Quick question where are you getting the 445w solar panels from, or can you supply, could you give me the dims I was going to be putting X4 100w on my van but the one you have used might fit my roof Cheers
If you can email me and I’ll get the information for you tomorrow. Our supplier for them have shut but have found out where they get them from so will see about getting more in as I only have a few left 👍🏻🚐
Nice one Stu👍 like the vanoligy contact details logo, maybe you could make the first stretched build? Limo style stretched crafter, I bet someone ends up doing one😂
Absolutely brilliant vlog Stu, really informative, im looking at upgrading our solar etc, is it something you would be interested in doing for us ? Great to see you busy 👌
@@VanologyConversions oh how I wish you weren't so far away as I have been desperate to get a small job done and can't find anyone prepared to do it 😢
good work stu,why don’t you get a banner made with your company name and web address,hang it up in the workshop then it will be behind you when your doing your bit to camera ?
Stu. Wondered why you didn't put diesel heater under drivers seat. Like everyone I've seen do that. May have had to put some spacers under. Dependant on yr
Hello stu hope your ok buddy loving the videos and congrats on your success with the business hopefully you remember us as been following your other channel for quite some time now buddy but I got a quick question as you had a vivaro in the workshop we are planning on getting a vivaro or traffic next year and converting it to a basic camper and running the entire van of a power station but when I watched this vid you mentioned fitting a diesel heater is quite hard well I'm planning on getting one also but where that got put I wouldn't be able to have it there as you know we got 2 kids also so fitting a roof tent I'm gonna need as much space I can get in my van so I need to try and find a good tight spot for it to fit will that be hard and plus money is going to be tight thats why keeping it basic lol would go bigger but funds won't stretch that far lol.
Hi guys yes of course I remember 👍🏻 ideally under one of the front seats is the best location for it, on this van it wasn’t possible. You’ll have a pleasure of planning where it goes before you start the conversions so I’m sure you’ll get a good spot for it 👊🏻🚐
@@VanologyConversions I see so gonna be tricky then as I'm wanting to put the twin seat on a swivel plate is it possible to our under drivers seat I have a diagram of what I want my interior to look like and looks a lot to put in lol should go in though with the way I want it lol just the diesel heater to put somewhere also possibly fit hobs with oven but in 2 minds with the oven for space would you recommend an oven just to make it that bit easier with us having 2 kids or go without or possibly get one of them portable ones but then space to store it I would just use an air fryer and hobs but with me only using a power station and everything powering of it its gonna drain the battery to quick so bit stuck here lol asking you as you done all this before and having children so you will have the best advice lol
Depends what lithium your looking at the Fogstar 105ah is £369 and you can use the whole capacity where agm/lead you can only use 50% of the capacity not to mention weight difference and charging efficiencies 👍🏻🚐
When showing a van it really would be nice to hear your voice explaining things while being able to look at the van interiors more slowly for detailed viewing. When the presenter becomes the focus of the presentation, a lot of the video is lost staring at the person instead of the vehicle. Once we have been introduced to you, the presenter, at the beginning, we don't really need to see you again until the very end. Nothing personal--just a thing that also seems to occur when a sales person is showing vans/rvs to the public on a video--they seem to be the focus of the presentation instead of showing the vehicle in more detail without jerking the camera around. Your general presentation is fine!
Thanks for the feedback and will take this into consideration going forward, from a creators perspective, the viewers enjoy both aspect so trying to balance the both can sometimes be difficult especially when trying not to repeat a previous video. Next weeks video is a how to so plenty more of work going on. 👍🏻🚐
Looking very busy, all due to your hard work Stu. Nice to see Shane come on board, looking forward to seeing what you both create. 🙂
Thanks guys have a great Easter 👍🏻🚐
Looking forward to seeing more of the ambulance, looks like a cracking van to convert
I’m really excited for it mate straight walls and a different model 👊🏻🚐
Think you might have come up with a new catch phrase Stu. 'Here's Shane in the shadows'. Welcome onboard Shane.
🤣😢 thanks mate

Mate don't get keys out on cam showing people where you keep them, great work stu 👌
Thanks mate, we now have a key safe 👀🤣
Nice one Stu👍 like the vanoligy contact details logo, maybe you could make the first stretched build? Limo style stretched crafter, I bet someone ends up doing one😂
My back couldn’t take anything less than me able to stand up in it lol 👊🏻🚐
Absolutely brilliant vlog Stu, really informative, im looking at upgrading our solar etc, is it something you would be interested in doing for us ? Great to see you busy 👌
Thank you Mark, yes we are happy to smaller jobs too 👍🏻🚐
@@VanologyConversions oh how I wish you weren't so far away as I have been desperate to get a small job done and can't find anyone prepared to do it 😢
Could you please give me some more information on the 445 watt solar panel
Me to pal
I’m out of the country at the moment will get the details on an upcoming video guys 👍🏻🚐
good work stu,why don’t you get a banner made with your company name and web address,hang it up in the workshop then it will be behind you when your doing your bit to camera ?
That’s a good idea thank you, there’s too many ways to contact us and some are being lost or forgotten about
Great stuff Stu, flying now butt. You'll have your own yard soon. 😂
Are you selling those toughbuilt saw horses? 😊
We really could use extra yard space, we’ve got the option for a custom built unit with yard space so watch this space 👊🏻🚐
Stu. Wondered why you didn't put diesel heater under drivers seat. Like everyone I've seen do that.
May have had to put some spacers under. Dependant on yr
This van had a swivel plate that wouldn’t allow it to be installed there it was the first area we looked at 🚐⚡️

There’s always somewhere it can go and if you want to move the vent to be further away then you can get a longer duct to put it where you want it 👍🏻
@@VanologyConversions brilliant thank you so much
No sound during the time lapses
Just watch what they are doing then yes?🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
My bad guys sorry, I edited three videos that morning and overlooked the music on this one 😂🚐
@@VanologyConversions I actually liked the silent treatment ‼️ can concentrate on what you are doing much better without the 'musak' 😢
No sound ?
I’ve checked sound seems to be fine ??
Not liking the silence on the time lapse footage….other than that another great video 👍
Me neither mate got overlooked as I edited three videos that morning before my holiday 🚐🚐
Where are you based
Bridgend, South Wales 🏴🚐
There's no sound on any of the time lapse
Apologies mate I overlooked this one as I edited three videos that morning 🚐
👍🚐😎

lithium battery is shit to expensive agm is cheap and good
