Mine's a Thule. I bought it for my Focus estate, but it adjusted ok and fits the van. Easy to take on and off - it uses a tensioning lever system, so you just hook it over the edges of the door, top and bottom, then pull the levers down, and it's fixed! Solid as a solid thing!

Hi there, I have a Fiamma cycle rack on my 81 Westy but the cross bar bits were missing when I bought the van... Can these be bought seperately or do I need a whole new bike rack? Cheers

I used to have a Fiamma one; it hooked over the top of the tailgate and instead of the bolts at the bottom edge, I just tethered it down with a couple of bungees. It could therefore be removed quickly.
