Ford Connect Carpet Lining Metalwork Guide
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- This video is a short metalwork carpet lining guide for a Ford Connect van I am converting into a DVLA registered micro campervan. I have already uploaded a video showing how I carpet all the ply panels but all the metalwork also needs carpeting to give a nice neat professional looking finish to the interior. I use stretch carpet and high temperature adhesive (see links below) and complete the job in an afternoon. I use strips of carpet to maximise the amount of carpet that is used from a 5x2m roll and all joins are carefully matched up so they are very hard to spot. Once the ply panels are also fitted back in, it transforms the van interior.

Good video mate looking forward to doing my little connect now 👍
Very nice job, and as I’m planning a similar project for this winter I’m finding it extremely helpful. Will you be detailing the purchase and installation of the roof light and the door windows? Also, what lights did you mount in the ceiling? Thanks.
Skylight and window videos are coming over the next few days, the downlights are just 12v LED recessed lights bought off ebay.
Hello mate love the channel just wondering if I can fix foil backed bubble wrap with that trimfix glue will it hold keep up all the good work
it should do, it's rated up to 140c I think
Looking very neat, do you have a master plan for the bed yet lol
Cheers yeah got the frame built, cushions cut to size, going to be similar layout to the Hijet but with a bed extension for extra length
Hi from the states! You do some great conversions!
I been following this one on youtube, and pretty much doing the same layout, except I'm adding a bunk across the back too, that way my wife can sleep on it. It's around 62" across there and she's about 62" tall too. Then during the day remove the bunk.
On those two bulges on the tc body right behind the side sliders, how were you able to remove the lower ones on each side? ...I thought they were welding on pretty good. If you don't mind, how did remove them? ...I'd like to do the same ...I forecast, one of those driving right into my hip when I sleep lol
It's good to rewatch this as I'm carpeting the metalwork in my connect just now. How do you neaten up the joins? Do you overlap one carpet strip over the other? Or do you try to cut them so they meet tight and flat? Thanks
I just cut so they meet and butt up to each other, then once in place go over the join with a hair comb and it'll help hide it away
@@TheCampervanBuilder brilliant, cheers
👏👏👏
Hi mate. Just wondering what the best way was to apply the ply to the roof?
Thanks
I have videos on my channel making new headlining and carpeting & installing them
Have you got any tips for making a neat join between two strips?
Comb the fluff between the joins
How much carpet did you need to buy to do the lot mate?
I think I bought 10m2 and had some left over
Where’s the best place to get this carpet from? I’ve got a transit connect lwb high roof and planning a mini conversion like this
I usually buy mine from eBay, there should be links in the description
Hi mate, where did you get the side window from?
A scrapped caravan
I take it you've had no problems with moisture just carpeting on to the bare metal? X
not at all, the carpet helps protect against moisture forming as there is no exposed bare metal to form on
@@TheCampervanBuilder cool. You see so many of these conversions done where they use a vapour barrier but this seems a good alternative 👍🏿 x
the insulation I use creates its own vapour barrier if its all joined up with foil tape. People usually put barriers over wool or loft type insulation but the foil boards are their own barrier in sealed together
