No Rob, I wasn't saying it wasnt good value for money, I for one know the quality of your gear having spent thousands in ORA stuff on my Jimny in the last year alone. Just I wouldn't pay that personally for a load liner, just my opinion.
Each to his own of course.

I know it's easy to say "oh that's expensive" but when you consider the sheet alone cost "us" just under £100 and we only get 2 lines out of one sheet... then we have to cut it, fold it, drill it, finish it and source all the fixings... We really only end up making about £20/25 per liner.. Don't forget only £79 of our liner goes in our pocket, the rest goes to the goverment...
Ali is not cheap! "unless" you want to scrimp and make it out of thinner flimsy tread plate.... :pinch: But that's not our style, our liner is solid...

Ply is not that cheap either!
If I were to take the rear seats out of my Jimjam I wouldn't get my hands dirty for whatyou get with the ORA liner for the money - I could never produce something as good and I do have access to a mate's fabrication workshop with a sheet folder and all the kit and he could order the sheet in with his other metal orders I'm sure, and help me with the making of it - but like Rob says, I'd rather put my hand in my pocket and get one of his than much about for a half day and it not be as good.

mine cost £20 but would advise to use 18mm not 12mm as it's a bit flimsy :whistle:
