• Complete van bodies can now be built in stainless steel using cladding and frame sections produced by Stewart Fraser Ltd, Heriwood Industrial Estate, Ashford, Kent.
Six new joint and corner sections have been developed. A matching pair of sections, one an aluminium lipped channel and the other a stainless steel clip-in beading member, provide a neat method of joining adjacent panels. By virtue of its clip-in construction the joint can be readily broken for easy replacement of damaged panelling.
Two end sections are available, giving a convenient method of finishing a panel-end on its attachment to a corner post. Corners can be built up using load-bearing sections in other materials but Fraser offers a squared-off stainless steel post with recessed panel attachment flanges.
