Evening
I'm wanting to space my rear wheels.. so i need to extend the sliding door hinge.
Do we know of anyone that makes the hinges to order?
And what needs to be done to the van rail / runner itself for it to work?

Thanks!

Early van is easy. Extend the hinge, move the stop by the same amount. No body bashing
