Hi I have a 2015 wellhouse leisure campervan bought new and wellhouse supplied and fitted a fiamma (vivaro) bike rack and also upgraded the gas struts,(reason for vivaro rack at time of purchase the custom one not yet developed) at the time I had one bike and the tailgate lifted okay with bike attached it held up okay as the rail sat up quite high on the rack with the the wheels been about window level,since then I've bought an electric bike which is 22 kg and been 67 I found it quite difficult to lift it onto the rack so I had to do some modifications and lower the rail to help me out, I have no pics of the original rail fitted but the modifications are shown,obviously I've not secured the bike ready for transit but you get the gist,

Hello, I'm interest in knowing from Botacco which 973-xx used, since I also have the 973, heritage from a previous car, and exactly the same tourneo custom...

thanks. Paolo

Has anyone figured out which mount kit was used to mount the Thule 973 to the Tourneo custom?
