brilliant idea! colour coded too, how is it fixed in the tub?

#5 by l200phill , Tue Aug 28, 2012 8:57 pm

cheers lezt, its the mark 2 as the 1st one i made was mdf and even painted didn't like the rain this one is exterior ply so hope it will last a bit better its not fixed down at the moment but could chain it to the tub with chain and round hooks

mdf is rubbish in the damp worse in the rain.
exterior ply should last a good few years.

Could do something with the anchor points in the tub , just under the top edge about level with the rear end of the arches.

#16 by stormforce , Wed Aug 29, 2012 9:49 am

thats different but looks bloody good Phil.
You should be able to sell those for a decent price

#17 by Yoda , Wed Aug 29, 2012 10:40 am

Looks great! Shame my dog wouldn't fit!

#18 by ebony266 , Wed Aug 29, 2012 10:45 am

Look fantastic bud , @ yoda looks like scope to go a little higher / bigger , it is a custom fab ?

#19 by stormforce , Wed Aug 29, 2012 10:46 am

I bet if Phil met up with CCC then they could come up with a f/glass one for the truck

#20 by Yoda , Wed Aug 29, 2012 10:51 am

Small issue of the canopy Eb.

#21 by l200phill , Wed Aug 29, 2012 5:40 pm

thanks for all the replies and yes i thought if it could be done in fibreglass they would sell well if the price of making them wasn't sky high and lezt that's where i was thinking to fix it to the tub as you could easily fix with a padlock and chain
