• Specialist light vehicle convertor MP Terberg is now offering a sliding door conversion for all high-roof Ford transit vans. The plug-fit conversion keeps the existing Transit driver's door with all its trim and fittings, including the original window winder assembly. The conversion is available as a Ford dealer-fitted option at about .2450. Fitting time is approximately eight hours.
It features a triple anti-burst locking system and has an unusual double-action mechanism, which allows the door to move out away from the seals before sliding back out of the way. A special device is fitted to stop the door slamming, particularly when the vehicle is parked on a hill. The Transit door is located by runners immediately above the rain channel and underneath the offside sill.
MP Terberg of Wigan already makes high-roof conversions for the Ford Transits and Escorts, and is working on a sliding door conversion for standard-roof short-wheelbase Transits.
