does anyone know where I can download a template or decals to ply line my van?

I have a citreon (prob spelt that wrong) replay 1000 swb 2.0HDi on a 03 plate

I need to find one asap so any help welcome on this, have a week to get it in and painted ready for my system to be fitted 
I was thinking 5.5mm ply sides 9mm floor and wheel arches would that be ok?

i wouldnt bother about ply lining it just slap some protecta kote on it,
thats what i have done two the 3 vans i have had and it works well,

go buy a ready cut kit. by the time youve bought all the boards and fixings its just as cheap to buy a kit

Don't fit wood to the floor if you are going wfp. Big mistake. The water goes underneath and rots the floor  Get speedliner (best but expensive) or Protectakote (cheaper DIY option). You will regret it if you don't

Too true.

You can't see what's happening if you ply-line.  Until one day the bottom drops out of your van

The first thing I did when I bought a van with ply lining was take it out.

Protectakote costs about £50 or so for enough to give a good couple of coats and is worth every penny.

And it's cheaper and quicker than lining

when I was getting my van fitted out, another window cleaner was there and he had lined his van with clear perspex!!! his company name was "chamois shine"

[Captain Scarlet]

REMEMBER he want to ply line so the sides of the van dont get dented with poles etc etc, you dont have to ply line all of it but the side doors, back doors and panels are really important, havent you noticed those vans dented outwards, thats because they arent lined! Luke

Hi Ian,

I am taking out the ply from the floor now and protectacote'in it. will be lining the sides etc as I dont want the van getting knocked from the inside it makes a van look terrible IMO and I like mystuff to last and look nice so I tend to look after it

[Ian Lancaster]

Don't forget to carry the Protecta Kote about 6-8 inches up the sides before you cover them up with the lining.

I protecta- Koted my van then ply lined it.  A peugeot partner needed exactly 2 lts to do 2 coats.

 The chap (forget his name) at NVP said that is fine.  Needed the van ply lines as I intend to put seats in the mid section.
Whilst getting it ply lined the chaps fitting the lining were complaining about the fumes from the protecta-kote.  It had been down about 8 days.  It is strong stuff.

wear really good gloves, I had stains on my hands for 2 weeks! Luke

I was thinking of doing my hands aswell, just to keep the water off them 

[stevekennedy]

Saves on gloves

I am guessing no person on here knows of templates for ply lining a van out, best get me tape and pencil out I guess 

[stevekennedy]

Speak to the main dealer.

Or, buy a kit. Trace it out onto sheet ply. Sell the kit on ebay, or return it as surplus.

I have seen Vans that have been protecta koted onto the ply lined floor? even pictured on pure freedom site showing this.

If the ply lining is fixed to the floor and you are unable to see moisture don`t protecktacote over it,if there is any water at all under there once coated it will be unable to escape and rot the floor.Better to go straight over the original floor ie metal.

[dave0123]

Were does the water come from? because if it can rot your van floor there must be alot of water leaking or something. surely its not from the pipes because you wouldnt put up with a leaking pump or what ever etc lol.

Is it from water left in the hose?

if water is touching metal it will rust, water eates most things in time anything, same as wood and most other items, water is lazy will find easy way everytime (fact)is the Daddy you have been warned
