Or are you just insane?

This fits under the 1cm corrigate in the cargo floor so will be completely invisible but with maximum height. It will be a long tube throughout aswell. Not missing as would be original. The last piece at the back will also need to be linked up to the raised box.
Ah, nice understood.

Hang in there Rob, I have had to wait 8 months just to do the front end, but you have to wait if you want the work done right. Mine didn't look to bad until it was all unpicked, but the fix was no problem for the guys, but might not have been for othere less skilled etc etc.
