Vanagon – behind seat storage rack

Ok, right away, I know this will appeal to only a few. But it works well, it’s stiff and secure. I quickly machined a bear spray holder and printed a flashlight holder for examples of things to attach. Bag type things can use Velcro straps. Yes, it’s the molle/PALS type system.

I’ll make them to sell if I get enough interest

Vanagon – catch up

Been missing, I know .

First up is crazy heavy duty expansion tank, I don’t like that name it’s more a header tank.

But here it is, different level sensor. It’s a bona fide proper one not the cheap import you might have seen elsewhere. yeah I did machine that cap spigot.

Not installed yet. Want to make rubber pads for under the clamp and on the pedestal base .

Nest up are more pedal pads. I think I’m close to a good version. There’s a pic here of a few of my prototypes. The powder coated black ones are what I’m going with

And billet, again I hate that term, aluminum door handles. I’m happy with this design that has holes in it. Feels good, looks good. Got pic of a solid version, unpainted but polished. Maybe that’s ok too, maybe better if partially leather wrapped .
