As Millie is going on a little trip very soon i had to get my roof box out of my store
![]() ![]() Click image to enlarge So when i picked it up it was really dirty so i had to give it a thorough clean ............................... ![]() Click image to enlarge So that was done and the i got the bars that go on Millie for the roof box to fit onto and i had these specially made for the job and all in aluminium ............................... ![]() Click image to enlarge So the next job was to fix them on, but i had forgot that i had put new wood on Millie all around so i had to start all over again, so after a lot off measuring and making sure all was in the right place, i drilled the holes in the front bar first, spot on with the level and angle to get it through the back hole ![]() The back bar was different story altogether ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As you can see in the pic below the back bar is flush with the wood as the front one is not, as i dont have the bars not on much my OCD can cope with this ![]() ![]() Click image to enlarge Just a pic of Millie with the box on ................................ ![]() Click image to enlarge So all in all i had a challenging time but i got the result i was after ![]() ![]() ![]() 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up.

Perfect fit by the looks of it and nice and neat.
Quite surprising how much you can fit in them. Hav you ever consider painting it or getting it painted? I would imagine it's pretty rigid and probs be fairly easily paintable. ![]() ____/🇬🇧🇺🇸\____ _//*⛽️🛢️⚙️🧰*\\_ |

Just found these pic's of the idea i had to have a dry place to do the cooking on and sit down when eating when i was on the LE-JOG trip, as at the time i had a Kyham Igloo tent and these pic's are testing the system i had thought of and that is why i have the roof box in the middle to allow for the up rite supports ............................................
