How did you get on with the inside (tunnel) fitting John, use the same :unsure:


Yes, the beauty of using four individual pieces is that they are all the same - you get a production line going and the parallelogram shape, if you cut to 45° angles, is ready shaped for bolt access. Then you get the same displacement all round! Believe me it takes minutes cutting and drilling once you have gotten past the planning stage and you know what you want. Only thing that slows the job is the finishing. I painted mine with you know what and made the edges really smooth, deburring all sharp edges.

Because the floor mounts are not in line front to rear you will have trouble using one piece rails which is what I have usually done in the past. Also in the past I used thinner steel but as these are independent corners I went for a heavier gauge.

Hope this helps.
