hi richard did the new tie bars stop drive shafts from coming apart would like to hear from you regards simon baxter

Hello Richard,
The box and sides/doors are home made, mostly from softwood and plywood.
I originaly put a lockable hatch in the boot which just clamps onto the underside of the boot opening so I did not have to drill any holes in the body. This made it possible for secure storage, but the space under the flimsy boot lid was still wasted.
This year I made the topbox which just bolts onto the original hatch frame, again not requiring any holes in the body. I kept the lockable hatch lid so now have 2 levels of security into the main boot area.
I sloped the middle section of the lid so that I could fit the original Secma luggage rack so that large items could sit across the whole lid and rest on the rack in the middle. The brackets with rows of holes are for attaching luggage elastics, and the rear ones have mounting holes for a lightboard for when I am towing it.
I then built the sides. These bolt onto the topbox at the back, and I made some aluminium U brackets which clamp the side frames to the rollover bars near the bottom of the frames. At the front I made some aluminium Z shaped brackets which each screw into the body with 3 self tapping screws, then the side frames screw onto the brackets. Two of the holes were already there from the fitting of Secma doors before I bought it, so the whole lot, box and sides, only required 4 small holes to be drilled into the body!
Having the sides there makes it feel quite different, considerebly less draft therefore warmer, and protection from splashes, and less chance of anything falling out whilst on the move.
The sides/doors are much stronger than Secma ones and will not get ripped off by a gust of wind. They cost about £50 to make compared to Secma's £400!

Seems like I lost control whilst waving !

Oh i'm sorry to hear about your pod not starting. Hopefully it is only something minor that can easily be rectified. I'm glad you have still got it though. Did you buy the cab kit for it like you had planned to?

Hi Richard, yip that is pretty much it - i bought a brand new 07 plate Sport a year last March and then sold it again in July of this year. I will certainly have to get another one by the start of 09. They are amazing fun! I like the picture you have displayed of my old Pod. Has it still got the Coca-Cola decals on it?
