Following on from the thread in the other section about van racking and keeping them tidy etc, I said i'd upload some pic's in here (away from prying eyes) thought you boys might want to see what I was talking about.
Only just got the van and only just set up on my own so not a great deal amount in there yet, although everything that is in there was 'donated' from the firm that laid me off :smug: (including van vault and bins)
Cost me £80 for the aluminium angle which was 9x 5mtr lengths of 1"x1"x1/8" the last van that I did I used 1 1/2" instead which was stronger but nearly twice the price, plus it was a VW crafter so had to span longer distances. This stuff is fine for this van (transit MWB semi high) It's all pop riveted together so easy enough to do, I used a 1mm cutting disc on a grinder to cut, and it's very light but strong. I think it also will add some value.
I also fitted a new ply line floor and walls and the timber for it all was £80 which included the shelving although I did recycle some of the old floor in places as I am on a tight budget being a new set up!
So I reckon £150 all in would get you it all if anyone is interested in the price. The biggest expense is time, took me 3 days to fit out, although for me it's not so bad as I haven't got much on and makes sense to do it now rather than when/if I get busy, having to take time off work.
The twin rocket launcher pipe rack is ideal as it keeps it all inside and safe, but also I can separate plastic to copper which stops the plastic getting all marked up, I do a bit of electrical work as well, and nothing worse than manky trunking!
Hope that helps!
