I like it. Thanks for this. When I do mine I will install the shelf under the aluminum angle to hide it.

Great video. But i have a question. Why couldn’t you just not remove the headliner at all, and just cut out the area where you put the brackets up and attach the brackets that way. Or is there a way to just attach brackets right over the headliner!

I’m having trouble drilling new holes through the brackets. What type of bit did you use?

did you consider cutting the headliner out above the top of the shelf? seems like a lot of wasted space back there

No, we didn't think about doing that. We did put insulation up there though.

Curious what size of L brackets you used if you can remember? Ordering all my material online and don’t want to short myself.

Hey Mike - super helpful, thank you. Just curious if you were worried about the part that says airbag? I've been nervous to modify this out of fear of messing up my van's airbags. Did you read anything about that?

Thanks for all the great details on the shelf build. I ordered a 2021 Transit and was told the shelf you had to pay extra for was a big shelf, not just the cubbies so I didn't order it cause I wanted the little cubbies above the visors and to build my own "big" shelf. I wasn't happy when my van arrived with no cubbies above visors😩. It was really hard to get any good details or answers to questions when placing my Transit order but even with missing out on a few things that would have been nice to have from the factory, I'm just thankful I got it in a timely manner as I know a lot of people are still waiting for theirs to arrive. Now, with your awesome video I can get a shelf built without having to do a bunch of figuring. Thanks so much for all the measurements, super kind of you to share all your knowledge and hard work.

Hey Mike. Awesome explanation of how this is done without the factory console. We'll forward our customers who don't have one to this great resource you've made.

What is the purpose of the foam blocks and why not ditch them permanently?
@britandmike
2 жыл бұрын
We aren’t sure if they are necessary, we could probably get rid of them but then we would have to build into the area where they are, so we just built around them. The blocks also each have a hole that we plan to use to put up a tension rod for a partition curtain between the cab and living space.

@@britandmike Sounds like you have a plan to at least make them a bit useful! I wanna take mine out in the future but they do look like a pretty complex shape to fill and have look nice. I’ll have to pull mine now that I know they are easy to get out then play around with some cardboard templates! Thank you guys!!!

Mike spent a few years working in facilities maintenance in retail, but a lot of the van-specific work he has learned on the fly online from other KZitemrs, blogs, etc!
