I'm in the process, and I hope you'll forgive me, of doing the same!

More to come - cheers

I'm now intrigued by the shovel and holder. Did you make this yourself or? And how did you stick it up there? Do you have a pic of the rig with shovel from few feet away as I just want to check how it looks

I'm also waiting for @MattF's pics of single malt in his gear carrier

These are the only shots taken recently from a few feet away. I sourced the brackets some time ago (these were bolted to the side gear carrier mounts) and unfortunately, I can’t find where from, but they’re lockable clamps and the shovel is a Spear & Jackson from Amazon that has a wooden handle that I painted black to match. It was the perfect size for the distance between the side gear mounts.

I'm starting to regret my "no box" decision! Now if only Vulkan would return with the British Flag impressed version I would be sorely tempted to redo my decision. That looks awesome! Well done.
