Tailgate Conversion Brackets

[Littleblackflash]

I've converted my van from barn doors to a tailgate and I need some brackets for the gas struts.

Over a month ago I ordered and paid for some at Vagnostics, but I've never recieved my parts. They are not returning my call, answering emails so I need to order some from somewhere else.

Does anyone else make the conversion brackets?

Tailgate To Barn Doors Conversion

@Littleblackflash you probably know this but VW will sell you their tailgate brackets - as I had the Vagnostics brackets I never looked in to how they’d fit.

Rather than start a new thread I thought I'd add on to this one.
I'm considering a barn door to tailgate swap (even though I love the practicality aspect of the twin doors).
Are there any other sources for these strut brackets or is it now oem via VW? How do they fit?

Also where's the best place to look for a tailgate, not much on eBay. Breakers maybe?

Not sure if anyone sells the now. They are really simple and if there is enough interest I’ll get a batch made.

They look the same as mine and work well. To complete the thread, Vagnostic did supply mine in the end. There are only a small one man company and just got swamped with work.

I used these brackets on our tailgate conversion and they are excellent quality. Recommended.
