Bush Chook Van Rack Mid-Post Tilting Mechanism Post Kit

$69.00$138.00

Post kit for expanda type vans, forward fold campers and vans with large front opening boots

We’re excited to announce the release of our new Mid-Post Tilting Mechanism. This is a game changer for many RVer’s travelling with bikes who own Jayco Expanda type van, caravans with large front opening boots and forward fold camper trailers. This exciting new product is proudly made right here in WA. Our new post kit is pre-drilled and cut to length, ready to install.

This new setup requires two separate posts, upper and lower. The posts can be made DIY or we can supply you our pre-drilled, ready to install post kits. Our posts are 50x50x4mm Duragal and are cut and drilled specifically to suit the Gripsport bolt on mount and tilt/non-tilt mechanism.
Our posts are also available to purchase singularly. This is handy if you currently have a short post and would like to use it for the bottom section and purchase the top section which is drilled to suit the standard Gripsport rack tilting/non-tilting assembly at 50mm centres. It can be easily trimmed to suit different setups. View Fitting Guide
