    Really enjoyed watching this! The van is coming along really good! Well done for figuring out the automatic fasteners too😊. From James at MBS

    Hello, a good informative video 🥂 Please could you point me in the right direction to those aluminium or steel brackets you used for mounting the runners/frame to the floor. Thanks

      Hi thanks. They were just some L shape aluminium 80x80 I think cut down to 40mm and then drilled. 👍

    This is exactly what I’m after when I start my build. I see you have been to Revs, have you been back since it’s opened back up?

      I was there last week. They’re slowly getting back up and running, but it definitely looks weird not riding through trees anymore.

    Could you have put the aluminium sheet on the bottom of the frame to give extra clearance for the bed?

    • @abucklife
      @abucklife  14 днів тому

      This is a great idea. But I thin it would foul on the brackets to attach it to the floor. But I’m going to have another look when I refit it as it’s out at the moment.

    Thanks for this video! What is the weight of this slide out rack? Most people seem to build them from plywood, which I guess is heavier. The rails seem hevy, though. Thanks!

    • @abucklife
      @abucklife  2 місяці тому

      I haven’t weighed it yet but I agree the the actual rails are very heavy. I was originally going to put another one in but think I will leave it at one.

    • @abucklife

      I will weigh it when I get a minute.

    Really like this design
    Would you mind sharing the dimensions?
    Do you think you could have made it slightly slimmer for 3 bikes?

    • @abucklife
      @abucklife  2 місяці тому +1

      Thanks pal. 140x80cm. I did it to width of my bars I’ve not had three bikes on it yet but looking at when I had two on it will easily take three with room to spare maybe a 4th. Grab your fork mounts and screw them to a bit of wood like I did. Mock it up. Don’t forget your wheels though as they take up a fair amount of room.

    Those connector bolts are interesting. Haven’t come across those before. Any chance you have a link to them?

    • @abucklife
      @abucklife  2 місяці тому

      Yes mate. I used this company who I gave my design to (that bit of paper) and then they speced it and cut the pieces to length. There are cheaper companies but they had massive lead times of 4-6 weeks where as these guys turned it round in 2 days. www.item24.com/en-gb/automatic-fastening-set-8-bright-zinc-plated-38808

      Thanks! That makes sense, the extrusion is ITEM and I’ve used Bosch Rexroth. They have something similar actually, so I think I’ll give it a go.
      I might use that company that you used for future projects
