This was just a case of using the smev measurements (came with the sink) and jig sawing the worktop to fit. I made sure to slightly undersized all cuts and to leave the corner parts so they could be routed later. Then I had to try the sink about 40 times in the hole, marking up any parts that needed sawing. Glad its done!
I came up with a nice way of attaching the worktop edging strip:
I've also added the zig unit to the side of the panel. This way it should be easy to turn the lights on/off when it bed! Also I didn't want the zig to be too visible through the side windows when parked (ignore the toolbox etc in the unit, gotta keep the inlaws garage tidy!)
I've now drilled 2 holes through the unit/van floor for the sink waste pipe and the gas lockers dropout. These are sealed with hammerite and I'm using the plastic dropout vents from rainbow conversions to 'line' the holes. I've just cut the plastic gauze off the vent for the sinks wastepipe. pretty much a perfect fit! Once everything's in place I'll use some exterior sealant to fill the gaps.
Kit wise, I've bought a cheap stereo with aux input and speakers from eBay so I can have music off the leisure battery. I've also bagged a CampingGaz 907 bottle an a 135 Ah gel leisure battery (all 43 kg of it!!!!!!!)
More this week as I'm planning to work on the van on Thursday.
