fitting the Ladder

Post by lynwil »

Another one for you guys, I have T25 which when I bought it the chap gave me the ladder that he had taken off the tailgate, I now want to refit it but how can I do this when the holes are in a sheet metal cavity, almost like i could do with a plasterboard fixing for sheet metal.. any ideas would be well recieved :?

Thats what happens with the bottom bolts but don't have any access to the inside where the top bolts seem like they should sit as its inside the cavity and you cant get at it.. :ok

I've got a feeling a post was put up about this a while ago and from what I can remember there is meant to be adjustable clips that hang over the top of the rear door, not bolt through. Either that or it was adjustable at the bottom...! One of those anyway! :D
