[VAC] Tamboor replacement





Dear fellow Vac members:

The tamboor material in my 1972 Tradewind is in worse shape than I imagined,
so I am going to check into replacing with new wood covered tamboor
material.  Does anyone have experience with the Tamboor vendors,
specifically having them cutting new doors to size.  I'm open to all advice.

Also, I have refinished my bath and am very happy with the results.  This is
not exactly a do-it-yourself project, but uses the commonly available home
bathroom/kitchen refinishing process.  I repaired cracks, stripped and
replaced all of the caulking, applied a skid resistant surface to the shower
and resurfaced all of the shower-sink-commode components.  It changed dingy
old looking ABS plastic to a new look.  If someone would like to see
pictures, I can share.

Thanks to all.

Rick Ellis
