I've always liked that aqua-marine colour on a Lux as in pic 1. Pic 4 shows the driver fitted with a snorkel so perhaps he planned it?? :evil:

Maak nie saak hoe goed die voertuig is nie maar as hy so diep in see water was dan skryf die versekering hom af. As dit nou varswater was, kon mens dalk nog red

The template is a bit off but thats what dremils are for. I didnt use the rubber pipe. Could not see a place for it. And I fitted riv nuts on the A-pillar for the top bracket. Otherwise it just slotted together.

People tend to keep there engine running and just use the handbrake and then get out to tie the boat.
I frequently launch my boat on my own and what I do is to lock the hubs and put it into 4L 1st gear with the handbrake and motor switch off.So far so good.
Can anyone see a problem with that.It will kill me if my van ended up like that.
The best option is to have someone behind the wheel with there foot on the brake.
