OK ....this may sound awfully thick (I'm known for it!) but have bought a Fiamma bike rack off fleabay which I will pick up Thursday. It came off a T25 but previous owner never fitted it to her van... so how does it fit to tailgate...does it just hook on? is there anything to screw? what stops it sliding? any help much appreciated or pic/copy of instruction leaflet that it must have had at one time!
doh!

It hooks over the top of the tailgate and under the bottom. The lower bracket tightens with bolts to keep it fastened.
I'l try and find the instructions from ours and pm you with a copy, no promises though my filing systems not what it was

Yep we've recently got one.
It hooks over the top of the door and you have adjustable brackets on the bottom which you just hook under the bottom of the door and tighten up with a spanner.

These bits hook over the top of the tailgate, Make sure you have the rubber inserts to prevent pain damage.
These bits hook under the bottom of the tailgate and then you just tighten the two bolts up.

This will just make it even clearer then, to be honest you're probably better off looking at Pep's photos
