Saw you saying you were doing a MTB build as well. That box is great looking. Curious what it looks like once you've got the bike mounts and how the bike fits!

Thanks! I am still deciding on which track to use, and have to order a few things (and some are proving difficult to source).

A couple small updates.
Track for bike mount
I have some 8020 t-track rails to mount the Unaka thru-axle mounts to for my MTB/ATB. Will be installing these soon (just finalising the hardware). I have a post looking for compatible tie down rings to secure to this track as well —
viewtopic.php?p=448427#p448427.
I plan to install some additional L track style tie down rings for securing points on the side of my drawers. Looking at these or similar —

Beeb n Co
I handed over a wad of $$ for a full set of Beeb N Co window covers —

The fit is perfect and blocks out all light. Haven't had a chance to use them on trip yet. We are heading towards summer here, so won't have a chance for a while to see how well they keep in the warmth — and haven't insulated the van as yet (still thinking though that).

I’ve had a slight change in direction re mounting my MTB on the drawer (and some delays whilst just doing life)
I picked up some 8020 section and looked at various methods, before settling on a Sure Components flush mount rail.
I’ll be mounting the Unaka fork mount to a Al or Stainless Steel plate, hitch will then attach to the L-track in the Sure Component rail.
