Rear framing now welded in, makes a difference having some new steel in there.

Looks good do the levels add up? What do you plan for insulation and flooring?

Cheers James

Yes its the same level as the rest of the floor.

Phelonic ply on bottom , 25mm celotex on top then I haven't decided on the top layer yet. Got a while yet before im ready for that

Crazy idea but how about 12mm phenolic ply celotex and the 12mm ply bonded all together like a sip. Very rigid and stiff.

If bonding 6mm would be more than enough, 4mm would probably be strong enough. Would be better to use a non foil faced foam if bonding.

What fixes the bike carrier/bumper in place once you have swapped them over, Is that a threaded hole I see in the box section for a bolt to go through and clamp on to what ever you have fitted?

How about a towing pin with a clip across it?

Just a thought?

Both the bumper and the carrier slide in 2 rails and are secured by a bolt and pin .
