The original struts did just about manage to lift it with a bit of help but I also upgraded the struts to T6 HEAVY DUTY GAS STRUT KIT TAILGATE (these are not included as went with the van).

Collection from Castleford, West Yorkshire

Thanks

Bump. Open to sensible offers.

Will this fit a t5.1?

 

[SpeedyVW]

Hi, unfortunately I believe the bike rack would only fit a T6 or T6.1. Thanks.

If this box was half the size I would have bought it from you. If you don't mind me asking, who made the box for you - I am looking to have one made...

 

[SpeedyVW]

Sure I can't tempt you? Would love for it to go to an enthusiast and your van looks very nice

Thanks.

I was very temped by the title of the thread until I saw the size... Sadly I have a spare wheel fitted to a UB bracket - that's the only reason I cant take it off you. Thanks for the compliment
Thanks for the details, I will reach out to them for a quote on a box.

Seen this in person today when picking something else up. Looks a really well put together bit of kit! Doesn’t stick out too far but has loads of storage space available. Excellent alternative to roof box storage

Open to offers on this as it's just taking up space and would love it to go to a fellow enthusiast.
