Put slightly wider self tappers in and a bit of blue loctite (threadlock).Anyone got any ideas to hang poles from the roof of the van?
I use downpipe brackets (2 of them) but they always end up wiggling the screws loose and I have to keep re-tightening them before they fall out. Annoying.
I use a Citroen Berlingo and it's not long enough to put the poles on the side.
I'll try that with some blue loctite, thanks. I use M8 self-tappers and can't find any bigger in the local diy shop.Put slightly wider self tappers in and a bit of blue loctite (threadlock).
Stops all bolts loosening on pressure washer so will do the job.
Don't use red loctite in case you want to remove them sometime.
The only reason I said bigger was to take up any slack already created.I'll try that with some blue loctite, thanks. I use M8 self-tappers and can't find any bigger in the local diy shop.
I made a slide shelf inside the van for my short extending ladder. I used an offcut of pvc fascia (local fitter) mounted on adjustable shelf brackets attached to the plywood shelf unit. It's impervious to water and has a lip to prevent the ladder from slipping off the edge. I don't have to get in the van to remove the ladder as it's simply slid in and out and it's held in place with one bungee hook. My workaday poles are slid into downpipe tubes underneath it. Looks a clutter in the picture but I can assure you it's very quick and efficient.I'm going to make a ladder bracket for inside my van to hold my ladder. Will be making it out of 18mm plywood.
