Need racking, roof bars and pipe tube and vinyl signs.
Can anyone recommend decent gear/companies to get this done?
Cheers

Neither am I mate but I quite pleased with my achievement today.
Do my own racking? lol I'm no chippie guys, believe me!!!
Make it out of cardboard first to get the curves right
As already said, rack it yourself. I bought a load of Really Useful boxes:
Really Useful Boxes
in different sizes for different fittings etc, then designed the racking to hold them. Rhino pipe tube is strong and not too expensive. I have Van Guard roof bars, they are strong and stable.
I'll be selling my pipe tube soon, probably the roof bars as well. What van have you got??
I'm pretty good. Let me know if you want a hand designing and building racking, we'll get it made bespoke for your van & storage boxes..
Cheers Masood, appreciate that!!
No worries Jay, it's something I really enjoyed doing on my vans, as well as a couple of mates' ones. I'll sort out some photos of mine to maybe give you some ideas..
Could you share them on here Mas I'm not done yet but need some ideas
Yeah no worries mate, I'll take some tomorrow as the van is actually tidy at the moment LOL...
Got mine finished last week, Fiat Scudo LWB. Cost me about £50

Jesus.. just did the first bit for my van racking :O there's a reason I'm NOT a chippie!!! Think I'll do it in daylight next time lol maybe that'll help :/
Doing your own racking is easy. Making it look good is difficult. This was my experience anyway.
That's exactly my difficulty!!! I'll take a pic of my horrendous work after I've eaten my dinner - something you can all have a chuckle to haha
