Personally I'd sell the kombi matt. Put some sound deadening down and insulation and then the top board.
Spec For Ply Floor With Cali Rails
When installing Cali single rails in a kombi with single left sliding door, what thickness floor matches the rail height? I was looking to cover the ply with a coin rubber pattern like the California has. E.g Black ROUND STUDDED Penny Van Garage Workshop Rubber Flooring Matting 1.5m x 3mm |...
If it’s not I’m sure Kernow Transporters can advise.
I can measure the flooring tomorrowI’m pretty sure somewhere in this discussion the step is mentioned.Spec For Ply Floor With Cali Rails

I was thinking that as well, but not sure how I can get to the required rail height (34mm) just using 12mm ply and sound deadening / insulation? I’ve got some Deadn Duo, but I’d need three layers of it £££!
I haven’t done it but using the Kombi mat seems like a quick, relatively cheap and most importantly well proven method.
If you have a good condition Kombi mat it will fetch a fairly good price, you could sell it and put a tatty cheap one down in it’s place as condition doesn’t matter.
Hi there - can you remember what you ended up with in the end for the tailgate? Was it 2 x 7H0802369 and 2 x 7H0802370? Thanks
Off the top of my head I can’t remember.
However i can say apart from the longer brackets at the front end I only used 2 types of brackets. I do remember I ordered 2 that were wrong and didn’t use them.
I think they are still in my garage.
One set
The other set

Does this one have the tie down rings at the end?
This one looks like the ones that dont have the tie down rings, like this, but its part number os slightly different (7H5 883 189 E)
Yes, my rails have tie down rings
Thanks. I cant see how the tie down brackets bolt to the rails from the pics you posted. Also which rail is which? Outer or inner rails? Are they all the same length?
Yes, just like these. 2005 swb caravelle rails
Thanks, Do you have a photo of how the tie downs fix to the rails please?
They're at my workshop so I can get a picture tomorrow. You can see from this picture how they affix.
End with fixings for the D ring
Et voila
End with fixings for the D ring
Et voila
Thanks. I am thinking there is only the tie down D at one end, near the front. 
At the rear, could be either end if you swapped them around. I wouldn't get hung up about the D rings. You can get rail attachments to put a D anywhere on the rail.
Just to hold the brackets in position.
Cheers - so the brackets are just spreaders, rather than a mechanism for transferring load to the cross-members?
