I love the hinge. Was it hard to do?
Easier than I though it would be. Used a dremel to remove the lugs and excess plastic on the panel, added 2 cabinet hinges and bolted 5mm white acrylic sheet to them, then used sikaflex to bond to the panel. Just need to mount the magnet catch properly (currently used a piece of ply!). Seems to work well and cannot open when the tailgate is closed. Well pleased
Fitted my tow bar (Brinks removable) with PF Jones 13 pin electrics.
So then some VCDS coding.
The tow bar, was a bit of a pain but got there, H7 dips to stay on on main beam and the kph to mph on the MDF. The last 2 were easier all thanks to info on the forum and a bit of you tube.
Glass of beer called for now.

Raspberry PI on my victron setup, also connected to 4G wifi accesspoint. Nice graphs!
bought a raspberry pi 3b+ from amazon and Loaded the image from here onto a micro sd Victron Raspberry Pi
Thinking of connecting the pi to my kenwood dab8019 headunit via HDMI so I can see the remote screen.

Fair play, I admire a woman who knows what to do with tools, my wife cant even use sandpaper! Probably thinks the gritty side is to stop it slipping in her hand!
Only kidding, but I wish she did show interest when it comes to working on the van. I dont even get brought a cup of tea for moral support.
They say no progress...without a mess!
I’ll have to take your word for it!
Cheers mate it was a bit of a test tbh on scrap wood, I've been using f clamps on the good wood and turned out very nice with a bit of t trim on the edge
these will come in handy though I am not on the short side (5' 9 1/2") I've OA and have torn the ACL in both knees, one was fixed last year just before the lockdown, no idea when the other one will get done
Are grab handles not standard on all t6's then?
don't think so, ours started off as a PV, it's a 2019 startline and only came with the business pack (AC, reverse parking sensor and alarm).
Took it to have the tailgate window tinting replaced as they left a 2” crease in it last week. Waited 3 hours and just as they were finishing off they ripped the corner off the new tint. had to take it off again. Now I will have to go again next week for another couple of hours ffs.
gutted.
