Propex 'VIM' bracket ?

Post by weimarbus »

can anyone on here explain the purpose of a 'VIM' bracket, it is mentioned in JK's kampernews and is supposed to make the propex safe to use while driving. Why is this neaded surely the propex can be used safely on the move anyway ( provided the exhaust is routed away from the floor area) I can find no mention of this bracket on the Propex website. I am very confused I'm sure I need to spend £36.00 on one of these but cannot think why.
