Thank you. Do you think you could get 6 treads with the bulk head fitted?
On a side note, I run with 5 treads width ways on the back section of my Ovano, I just drop the seat down and they are really easy to get out.

Sorry for what? I have forgotten how I installed them however if it was an ignition live then I already had various spares I had installed myself triggered from a relay under the pasenger seat feeding to a seperate fuse box above the battery.
Yeah it was for an ignition live, I have piggy backed on Fuse 17 in the engine bay fuse box, but sounds like you did something different
No, there's not much room eiither side of the 4-treads if the bulkhead is up. I used to have a proper bulkhead in which I removed. If you aren't fussed about the bulkhead then you can obviously leave the unistrut longer.
Good shout about behind the Ovano, I hadn't thought of that!

What rack is that? rally raids look mint!Made the most of a cloudy and not scorching hot day, and spent 4hrs washing the van...
Bear in mind I did the wheels the other night (hadn't driven anywhere since) so that cuts out about 45 mins...
Citrus pre wash, rinse
Snowfoam, rinse
2 bucket wash, continually spraying down the rest of the van as it was still drying on thanks to the wind
Dry
Full coating of super resin polish - love this stuff. It can't work miracles but it gives a huge increase to gloss, deepening the blacks and hiding a good amount of light swirls, and even filling some of the heavier scratches
Wet the whole van again...
Geon Wet Coat on the whole van, windows, solar panel... The beading was good with just the SRP but this takes it to another level. With a new drying towel it took me no time to fully dry the van, so much easier!
Then windows cleaned and wheels dried.
And... Done!
Hopefully, now it's properly protected, it should only need a very quick wash before my euro trip in 2 weeks time.

Unfortunately with the roof rack and the sliding windows it drips more than an OAP at the urinal, so I'll be chasing water spots for the a while!! I'm very tempted to buy a blower to dry the van.
It's a flat dog rack - really happy with it.

With only the ‘before’ pics there’s no proof.
Washed the van with a bit of chemical guys ceramic wash in the pouring rain. Then to entertain the neighbours even more I rinsed it off with the hosepipe.

Replaced my step lights with these. Perfect fit.
ordered four of these yesterday and they are a brilliant fit, still need to screw them in when the correct connectors turn up
