Parts Ordering Help

[dig]

I could use a little help. I am getting ready to order parts through ACOC and wondered about a couple of things.

Rear Door Catch: what parts do I order if I need to replace everything? Do I need all three items, and will those items make a complete working catch?

• Catch, rear door, white plastic, female
  
• Catch, spring reinforcement for above catch
  
• catch, metal rear door stop, "Grippo", male for above catch
  

Glass glazing bead: I assume this is the seal around the windows (mine is currently gray and cracking). This is sold by the foot, so how much should a guy order to do all of the windows on a 21 footer? Is there anything else needed to replace this beading?

I will blindly order a koozie or two, since that is more in my area of expertise  :wink:

Since I am in the neighborhood, is there a way to pick up the parts instead of having them shipped?


Thanks for the assistance -

Sorry, I'm not much use on those items as I have not had to deal with them yet myself.  I just wanted to welcome you to the club, and say I was checking out your 'other ride' And what a sweet one it is.  Very nice, and I'll bet it's fast enough to get you in trouble too  I've been playing with a Subaru WRX lately, but not near as modified as your pony, but still enough to get me into trouble   :lol:

Yea, no kidding. Your AC looks like it was hermetically sealed in a bubble for 20 years!! You have a beautiful rig! I have used some of your pictures to see what I need to aspire to get mine to  :wink:

Thanks for the welcome. You have done a great job here. I was very happy to see a good owners group when I was looking at buying my AC. As you probably saw on my Mustang site, I like the message board thing, and when I am looking for information on anything, the first thing I look for is a message board on the topic. Best info on everything!

Thanks for checking out my Stang. It is a lot of fun. I have been pretty good at avoiding trouble so far (knocking on wood right now...). I have taken her to the track a couple of times. That is a blast. Last trip there was a guy with a WRX STi that was killer. Those are very cool cars for sure. I was looking at one for a commuter and play car, but ended up going with an econo-box Saturn Vue. Figured with the AC and the Roush, I was going to need something that I didn't mod and got good gas mileage  

Thanks again for the welcome, and hosting a very informative site. I appreciate it!! Hopefully I can get an answer or two on my questions above. Would like to order real soon. My RV is looking a little ghetto with the missing heater door  :oops:

Dig,

For the female part of the door stop, I picked up some plastic catchy things from PPL motorhome here in Houston. I saw them at 2 or 3 other places as well. The are 2 or 3 bucks.

There were two in the pack; however, I've broken both of them in less 1 year. I think I'm going to change the whole setup with something with a little more umpf! I have a 3 year old who love camping and my Clipper more than anything else so mine takes a beaten!

ah, BigRay with the young kids!
That's how it was when we got our Clipper 5 years ago - and I had to make a few changes - the best one was to ditch the "tape-a-drape" system - don't know if you have it - but it is a pain in the rear (even without kids in my opinion)

I switched to brass curtain rods, brass curtain rings, and a  thin shock cord to hold them in place when needed - much better function- and looks better too (my opinion of course).

I use the original door stopper/catch deal - but have in a pinch used a bungie-cord wrapped around the inside door handle, then hooked into the fiberglass portion of the wheel well - works great - keeps the main door open, and you can shut the screen door, etc.

Very good - I appreciate the input.

I'm not a real bright guy, so just reading descriptions on the ordering form is a bit tough for me. Pictures are usually my best friend   :oops:

Maybe some day I can offer up my services and build a web catalog with pictures and such for the stuff the club sells. That would be nice for guys like me that don't comprehend the written word so well  :wink:
