Re: KK owners need a measurement

Hey Theo,
Just walked down to the shed for you and measured mine....The bit that riverts to the camper is 40mm wide, and the upright is 50mm. The angle is 4mm thick, and the holes are about 16mm diameter. The bottom 40mm bit is flat, but the 50mm upright has a nice pretty rolled edge on it that is thicker then the main 4mm section.

well after feeling inadequate and knowing my MYSWAG credibility would be shot to pieces if I bought something i could make I spent the day doing this.

Found some 40 x 40 x 3 behind the shed..

Its not finished as Lara wants it black and seeing as she helped me do it I said she could decide so they need to be removed and painted then re-fitted with some silicone under each one to stop any leaks through the bolt holes.

Jet ;D ;D
