That explains things, I thought you were better looking than that :wink_smile:

 

[telectrix]

that's doubtful. i once scared boris karloff.

 

[gnselectricals]

Haha there was no photos when I replied 'twas sarcasm

 

[gnselectricals]

Does look good now I can see it (except GS) however you must only do about 3 mph to stop it all sliding off

 

[telectrix]

nope. the shelves have a 12mm lip.

 

[gnselectricals]

Can't make that out looks flat, good tho

Shocked there isn't a design with shelfs on the side and a pull out bit for the middle that drops down legs to support it like a table.
Guess more like the trollies you get in ambulance were the wheels fold under as you push it in.
As for the shelfs inside, should get access every via a side door or the trolly/table in the middle comes out fully making it easy to put it were ever to work around.
This would mean rails on the floor to hold it in place, but I think a sheet of wood with some system to put on to the rails so you can cover it up when you don't want the trolly in there, this also means tools on the troll can be just pull put each night so no tools left in the van.

Other things is padding on the ceiling and netting so you can store things there too, would mean some posts on the side to hold tension.

Is there a rule about showing photos of banned members?

No i haven't racked it out yet, I have only found 1 company that does wooden racking/shelving but i cant justify paying over £240 per side of the van (metal starts at £500)
I guess there are not many kits out for it has not been out that long. I just have not got time to make my own either. Still a great van though.

Also got the new Transit Connect and love it, also wish I went for the Custom for the extra space!

Have fitted racking down the drivers side of the rear, very happy with it and fits perfectly for £150 through eBay - New Connect 2014 SWB Binrack Van Racking Van storage Plywood Shelving | eBay

Thanks Dobes, i have seen that but i went for the longer L2 and apparently it wont fit without modification to the van.
Shanky is that the new one or old one?

It's got full wooden racking as well, couldn't rate it high enough, was used to having everything all over the place in my transit connect, now it's all got its own place!

My vans racked out ... but still used to having everything all over the spot. Especially on re-wires where you empty half the contents of your van into the gaff - then at the end of the day or end of the job if leaving on site they all just get thrown in (fatima whitbread style)

I really should be more domesticated.

The L2 can take 3.4-metre long items with the aid of the optional Loadthrough bulkhead.


im not sure which ones it affects if im honest
