Sure has been a bit of effort John in the design of those ladders, look great and very functional.

Chaps, I've welded up a small barn door for my Y61 GU Patrol, but now trying to figure out the connections to the door. The frontrunner one has three riv nuts down the bottom and two up top - my reckoning is that the top two go through two layers of door steel (where it's folded double) and three go through what I think is a single layer of panel steel.
Does anyone have any experience with these fitments being enough for normal use? 100kg person on the ladder carrying stuff?
I'm not good enough with the welder to do a folded over hook type thing on the top (which I'd prefer of course) - unless anyone has some particularly easy ideas to execute.

G’day CSN61 Mate!
If understanding correctly you’ve made a door ladder for your small barn door?
Rivnuts/Nutserts are strongest in shear lateral weight forces for your application but not so great with outward pull forces in such light panel metal.
Some beautifully engineered designs above but first things first check your barn doors for cracks looking at their opened edges at approximately the glass line bottom.
Strengthen that OEM fault first is my nuffy opinion as you’ll probably find the spare wheel bigger door already has a crack from only days out of the factory :-(
