    It is lovely. The fact that they keep using Kingswood door trims makes we wonder whether the belmont style is available (through winners etc)?

    I actually think the Hq belmont door trim is one of the best of that era

    You can get them. Finding welded stitch versions done correctly is harder.

    After all my homework on trim and asking a mate thats been a trimmer for 30 years
    Winner products are the only company that does the welded stitching and piping per factory afaik

    Yes i would have to agree on both fronts, the Belmont trim especially in black just looks good, maybe because of the lack of chrome.
    We used Winner products for our HQ van, and were very happy with there products, although it was the slow boat to China arriving.
    I think from memory its a 3 month lead up time from when you make full payment.

    I can only think the reason Munster's builds always have the incorrect Kingswood door trims fitted to Belmont Sandman's is because Winners tell people they are the only one correct for a Sandman. Which we know is 100% wrong.
    Belmont Sandman's have '74 (30) long grain Belmont trim and Kingswood uses (30) long grain Kingswood trim. That said, the correct information is out there and they both should have wind of it well before now.

    You can see how it happened. They obviously believe "all" HQ Sandman's had Kingswood trim or platform. Truth is, way more were Belmont than Kingswood.

    The site is full of errors and nobody should reply upon there listings. A lot are also right on there, but you need to do your own research before just being a sheep and getting it all wrong.

    All that said, I'm not knocking there product.
