Title: STOP THIEF
Post by: lee_dewing on April 28, 2012, 12:59:32 pm

Minor really but petty; some g1t stole my ladder hooks.

I'm wfp but need ladder to get over gates.

Always unscrew ladder hooks and hang of roof bars on van, come back to van and gone :D

Lesson learned, made me nervous though as leaving trolley on board and using hose reel; van door open while working  :(

What do you van mount guys do drill through floor pan of van to put on hose connectors?

You must still need hose reel outside van do you secure this?

thanks lee.

Try gently closing the van doors shut on the hose and locking it.
Some vans allow you to do this especially if using microbore, but some don't.
Worth trying though before you start drilling holes.

Just discovered, behind rear bumper on my ford escort van are holes either side about big as 5 pence piece (drainage holes?)

Poked pole hose tube through and popped through in van below rear lights :) (can lock doors)

Will hook this up to trolley in van and hose reel outside van.

Problem solved, no need to get the drill out.

All though might use cordless drill to reel in hose ;)
