Do these side bars look right?

[Lucasaee]

Hi guys I fitted van style angled trapezoid side bars today… are they supposed to not be central? I put the shorter bracket on the front as the instructions said. I moved them as far forward as they would allow.

What are you thoughts please? Anyone else got these fitted?

Does it matter?

No. You might need to try the brackets the other way round... or the rails the other way round (do this first as it's easier)

Ah that’s a good idea. I thought that they sat in the middle of the brackets… nothing in the instructions. Thanks mate!

No, should be central...

I done the same thing when I put mine on...

"back to these brackets. . . .

Long bracket - rear of van
short bracket - front of van.

but then, each bracket has a long bit and short bit.

I've now sussed out that the SHORT bits are to the front of the van.

oh, also - as we know the actual bars are handed - so the longest bit of "bar from the bracket" goes to the front of the van.

now knowing all of this, things go on much quicker"

first of all its get the van up on the ramps as i had a nightmare last time.

I've moded the ramps to add some trainers on them - to stop any slip.



so double ramps this time. . .



which gets us a nice bit of clearance. . . and using the jack or axel stands for safety.



back to these brackets. . . .

Thanks guys. Turns out they are right and left handed swapped them over and looks way better. The most useless instructions from Vanstyle. Even a L and R sticker would’ve been extremely helpful lol.
