Question is do you guys that have made your own sliders support the aluminium panel that goes btwn the rear door & rear wheel flare?
it just seems to flop about a bit, or does that not cause a problem.

I don't think it's a problem.....from memory I did consider moving on of the bottom button that holds the flare on up 75mm or so.....will need to refresh my memory when I get home

Heres my version of the sliders.
I was going to buy some but the cable locating business is a bit slow at the moment so thought I better make myself useful.

I used 100x50x2 RHS, plenty strong enough for the purpose, but not so stiff as to be stronger than what its bolted to. Steam pipe steps / rails

middle mount is a piece of unistrut - fits exactly.

measures please.
