They’re called shear nuts. They’re used on a lot of things like security fencing so that you can do them up easily with a socket, but once the head shears they’re a pain to get off again without the right tools and some patience! When you’ve sheared a load of paling off a fence, then the customer decides they want the corner post moved somewhere totally different, being the apprentice it’s always my job to try and get them off again 🤦‍♂️

There’s no other feeling than a new van and when you kit it all out knowing that the layout and cleanliness is only going to last for one job 🤣. They are great vans mate enjoy 👍

Add a fire extinguisher, you never know. Nicely done on the fitting out!

The 2018/19 transit custom is a dream to drive. Desperately trying to get my boss to get me one when mine gets replaces lol

As a steel fabricator I helped my mate fix his new slim slider van vault into his brand new transit connect. Instead of drilling the floor I made a frame that bolted into the existing floor tie down points and the van vault then bolted into that. 👍

Loving the van so far. I can't wait to see it when its all finished. Really enjoy watching all you videos.

Welldone mate 👍

Just done something similar with my van (only a combo so had to design it well) slider one side, space for steps and 2 x fixings trays the other, false floor and space for my hand tools at the front / sliding door end. Working well for me so far

Best of luck with the new van looks great good to see a hard work company doing well👍

Happy new Van day.... That looks proper nice Nick

Congrats on the new van. It’s looking great so far. 👏

Great job, iv done similar, I have 4 slider draws, and 2 boxes built i my custom, with sliding rear racking and a slot in the middle floor to roof for my ladders and leaves ect.

Great job Van. looks fantastic you work hard you need a new van you need a van that does your job it is brilliant

Where was Adam in the boarding out of the van great planing on shelf arrangements Adam could have climbed in the sliding boxes for u lol can't wait to see finish out shelving

A good dollop of "blue" (marine) grease over those bolts will protect them well nick! Really thick and resists splashes, and short term high pressure spray passes.

Looking good pal look forward to seeing the van all finished 👍🏽

How do they say it "well jel"? Looks very nice Mr Bundy. You'll have to get some nice seat covers for those sausage mcmuffin bits that fall into the seat while you're driving 🤣.

I’ve got a long wheel base custom, it was fully racked out in brand new bott smart racking the previous guy had installed and never used, I built two false floors, the bottom one houses a set of Zarges three ways and a set of 6treads. Second floor is about 4in higher and allows you to use the through loading still, totally mad blocking it having a roof rack is a pain in the backside for getting into car parks etc, then built a boxing against the bulkhead for a set of 5 treads that go width ways ☺️ works a treat. Van looks good though 👌

Looks good already mate 👌🏼 love the front grille 🔥

Nutserts or rivnuts are great for fittings in van. The tool is only £20. Black vans a very dark inside. I fitted white sticky back vinyl to the inside of the roof and 12volt LED strip by the roll from eBay get the silicone coated stuff. Makes it loads easier to find parts on your shelves. Smart looking van.

tidy van mate got the same one in blue! Also have the same slider drawers, was like deja vu watching this lol I put mine near the bulkhead with ladder racking above them.

I made a step ladder rack using galv conduit, ( sort of a U Shape both ends ) fixed to the top of the van .. they slide out nicely .. just an idea 👍

Hi Nick ,I also own two of those exact van sliders like you . Try and keep the heavy stuff towards the back as the runner wheels end up wearing out inside. I've got all the m18 gear to the back and test gear in the front. Dividers can be bought but it's cheaper to cut your own. As far a stuffing about with bolts etc over here in Australia we use 500 series tek screws which cut their own thread even through thick H beams. One surprising thing is that although Van vault is a UK company they sell them to us cheaper than you get it in the UK. Great videos mate , I wish we had something similar downunder. Dave in Western Australia

Don’t forget to leave access to your rear light clusters for bulb changes.! Looking good though. 👍🏻

Nice van bud and looking good on the inside to well done 👍🏻

I have a new Transit Connect, i am in a bit of a dilemma regarding secure storage, i ply lined and carpeted the roof and sides back in April. Now i am starting out on my own, this seems a great solution, adding a false floor on top. I already have a fully plywood floor with sound deadening underneath. A Transit Custom would've been ideal, so i need to make the most of what i have. On a side note, that front grille looks part.

There is no balloon payments with PCH leasing. Balloon payments are with PCP. You can also get HP and CS with a balloon. Not common as far as I’m aware.

Jet rack do a ladder storage system that hangs from the roof and your ladder just clips in

Nice wheels and so so clean 🧱👍🏽

Lovely van Nick. But not as nice as the rotiform wheels on that mk5 outside👌👌👌😍

Check out Ajax alarm they do a 12v transmitter to link to home alarm and do a PIR with built in camera and siren. If want over kill can get smoke cloak :)

Nice one you deserve it but please get mechanical key deadlocks fitted too to your doors as well

Very Impressive! Nice ‘new to you’ Van. Noticed on your old one the Vinyl has a gmail address, I assume you’ll update that when the new one is Vinyl’d? Looks very professional inside. Maybe spray paint any visible Ply black ?

Looks good Nick, just wondering will the ply floor block your access to the panel where you can change the rear light bulbs? (Assuming they're accessed from the inside)

The heated seats in my Transit are great but never used the aircon, I do live in Cornwall after all.

Auto as well ? Drove one of these yesterday, lovely drive 👏

Doing better than me 🤣 had my new VW 4 weeks now and I've ply lined the walls and doors. Need some 10x5 ply to do a one piece floor now. Not easy to get stuff right now.

Have you thought about using rivet nuts? Better than self tappers.

£50 quid says you kerb the wheels and shut the rear doors wrong way in 3 months

Excellent job love the front of the van. What engine size is it? Look forward to the finished project.

Fit a towbar will be handy for trails and cherry picker

Would a stocked veto pro pac Tec PAC fit in the drawers , perhaps lying down? Recently got a custom too, and am toying with how to set up. Love the idea of 2 drawers. Also how much of a gap will be needed behind van to pull out?

Both in middle and leave the back clear for big stuff man.

You not going to put LED Strips in the back for more light? Also a good idea to install small LED Light Bars on the roof outside for those late nights.

Finally a recommendation/review and van plan that's actually sold me on whether to finally swap from a VW transporter to a Transit or not. Got to admit I'd ideally want to shift the Sliders to the right so I could still use the internal pipe hatch but looks like I'd have to bolt the sliders to each other or get the wider slider. Looking forward to seeing final layout!

Get a jet-Rack for your ladders Nick, they're great.

Well in bro! I Just ordered a new custom for myself a couple months ago still waiting on it to be delivered but I can’t wait. I’m looking todo exactly what you have done with the van vaults and raised floor. Did you consider bottsmart van racking at all? I’m thinking of purchasing it after seeing DSS Video a while back but it’s so costly. And if you can do me a favour and get van vault todo a bundy discount that would be ace 🤣.

Looking good, always liked the Customs - I see you have a pro pac - is it the 3 or 4 ? Weighing up which one to get and can't decide between them !

Great video, quick question How wide are the two units when together?

Wish i could afford to pay for a 19 plate transit outright.. joys of an Electrician hey.. money everywere ... 💪🏽💪🏽

Nice van

Would they not both fit next to each other both opening from the side door?. False floor at the front half and full height floor space by the back doors? Your existing ply racking would probably fit straight back in then? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi nick have just received a new transit custom. Did you upgrade many of the security features on your van? Hace noticed the new customs have changed the front barrel lock on the drivers door.

Proper class

You need oil for the bearings not a degreaser like wd40. Skateboard bearing oil would be ok. Ps I like your electrical knowledge that you are showing us all , thank you

WD40 will act as a solvent on the bearings and dissolve the grease. Get yourself some proper grease or remove all of the current grease and WD40 and spray everything with Wurth Dry Lube (helps prevent muck building up as it isn’t as sticky as grease).

Agree. wd40 is almost like a detergent, great for breaking down gunk and freeing things up, but not so good as a long term lubricant.

What alarm system did you go for? Just sorting mine out.

Wd4o is a cleaner not an oil just saying 🤣. Oil or grease it for a better glide.. 👍

You should get some grease on the drawer slides not Wd40, WD40 is a solvent and will get rid of all the oil and grease on them already and they will end up worse off

add a beer fridge ....you never know lol

Not sure what's worse, the wife not turning up on the wedding day or the Amazon delivery. Congrats on the new purchase.

Has the sideboard lining being painted? Mine is wood colour

basically spraying WD40 on the bearings and runners you have just stripped off all the lubricant that came with the vaults from the factory.

The shear nuts seem pointless, you can't remove the bolts without a tool on the bolt head the other side (with draw removed) anyway.

Shear nuts I think they're called

Once you've sheard the nuts you need to cut the bolts flush otherwise you can just lock two nuts on the bolts to loosen them.

Sortimo all the way. No bolting to the floor.

When looking for quality tradesman as a customer are there websites to look or is it word of mouth sort of reviews?

How did you remove the drawers from the sliders?

you should have used eather Lithium or Copper Grease on the Draw Runners! WD40 Can thin existing Grease

Where did you purchase the front grille from?

2:13 "look at the length on that" its how you use it not how big it is as she said
