And its garbage. I bought their one at first and it was poorly made and way too small. Best off making your own.

Not everyone is as good as you two doing that sort of stuff, I think as you are both now experts you should offer a service to others making a kit.

haha. Far from expert mate. But I have contemplated it. The only thing wouldn't be doing is the door section. You have to modify your own. But the thought has crossed my mind as I do realise not everyone has the tools, and the patience to make this from scratch. Wasn't really hard to make, it just took a lot of time. Plus having the right tools does help a lot.

I cant do it myself as I have a airbag in the way, would prefer the extra storage.

I was having a look at another member U and noticed the airbag deploys from the top. I though it deployed from where we make the door for the glove box. I wonder how much room is under there. As the air bag in the steering wheel is quite small so I can't seeing the passenger one being any bigger.

I don't think I would take the chance, too risky. Could imagine triggering the airbag while cutting the door out.

thanks for the where to get it, not sure if i could make one

Bumped as will be starting tomorrow on this mod.
Have seen Mudski's in the flesh and very impressed

Good luck John. Just be patient and take your time. Remember, measure twice and cut once. When I have the time I will make version 2.0. Similar to cuppa's but with a hidden magnetic lock so it won't open until to unlock it.

I have access to the vacuum former so will make a few inserts if possible.
I'll be picking your brain, that's for sure
I'll get my BFF on it as well he was head of sheetmetal at "Q"mart
now retired. So we'll make as large as possible
