Help needed

[Express79]

I am new member and also waiting for my new t6 transporter.
I wanted to ask members here if you know where i can have tie rod fitted for wheelchairs for my new t6 transporter shuttle.
And how much am i looking at spending.
I would be grateful of any information.

Welcome @Express79 , how do you mean tie rod? Are you a wheelchair driver? Or need to be in it as a passenger? Or is this for storage?

 

[Express79]

Thanks t6dave for reply.
Its to get wheel chair passengers in from side passenger door.
So will have to take 2 single seats out to get wheelchair in.
Then it will have to be clipped in a tie rod for to secure wheelchair. (Like the london cabs).
Its like a floor mount 4 circles on the vehiclr floor.

Sorry not tie rods they are called tie downs

@Express79 , OK unwin tracking would seem the best idea to me, as can have the tie downs installed and removed as needs, think they do a seat belt kit as well? Not sure, best bet Look at below link, or Google unwin wheelchair and look at images for ideas..

Thank you so much t6dave.
Would you know if they do the fittings or would i have to find another place to fit the tie downs.
How much would this set me back?

No ideas mate, give the contact number at the bottom a call, as they will probably have a specific kit for the VW as is a common WAV, they also will know of installers etc in your area, or at least will give you a start.. Remember as well that it will be VAT exempt if for a member of your family.. Note as well, you need it fitted by an installer/converter for certification and insurance.. If you don't mind me asking, have you got/ordered the vehicle, and is it for you or the user? And are they a family member?

Sorry for being late. Its for my work as a taxi driver.
I need to show the council the vehicle can take wheelchair passengers with proper secure points.
I wanted to find out if other member have gone thru this route and roughly how much it will cost.
I am grateful for your help.
I should be getting my t6 in june/july some time. So fingers crossed
