His name is Chad Yarbrough

The racks are $500
I found a company in Luton that has containers that come over a couple of times a year and charged me £50 +taxes to get it from New Jersey to UK (because of its size I was being quoted between £700 -£1000 with the normal shipping companies).
And it costs Chad $175 to ship to NJ from Florida. So your looking at about £500 in total.
Which is about how much an original dormobile rack will cost on the rare occasions they come up on eBay
The company that ships to the UK is http://www.randrhotrodimports.co.uk
You need to email a guy called Russ Pepper roadster33@ntlworld.com
He'll let you know when the next shipment is coming over and give you a quote.
I'm hoping my rack will squeak onto the next shipment, Chad worked flat out to get It done in time. And it's heading up to NJ now.

Thanks I'll check it out Graham. [emoji106]
That photo is of a short one Chad made for that bus because they'd put the roof on too far forward.
Hope you haven't done that Jaysk![emoji6]
Check before you order one!
Actually I'd better check

So bit more progress and this is exciting as I really like how the chunky door catch turned out.

Wow, that looks very lovely.
Where did you get the door catch from? And how similar is it to an Easicool knob? It might make a nice replacement for an Easicool I have that currently has a twist knob on instead.

Not sure I don't have an Easicool although from what I have seen its looks the same or very similar.
close up of mine :
Got the catches from a good friend who had them stashed away for ages.
