Hi All,
I am most of the way through my install of LPG and the rear shelf. I am trying to make the most use of the space, protect the gas tank and quieten down the noise from the valves etc, so as to stop my navigator (wife) from stressing every time they make a noise...
This is what I have done, I have really only got to add some sound proofing to the inside and some carpet, just trying to figure out how to carpet the edges and corners. When this is done, I plan to fit a cargo barrier an maybe some tie downs.
Any ideas are welcomed and any criticisms considered as learnings. So far cost has been around $120 for timber, aluminium, Bolts etc. Already had rivets and washers etc..
Ply sections are fitted with T Nuts and held in with Hex head bolts through the frame. I am thinking, I might have to glue these T Nuts in place before carpet, unsure as yet...
