I was delighted to receive a visit today from Thomas Grütter from @Black Sheep, together with Andy from Clevershade. They popped round to my place to deliver Black Sheep's newly released CTEK D250SE mounting plate to suit my Utility Wagon. As many of you would already know, they had already released a version to suit the Station Wagons, but the low clearance between the Smartpass 120S and the 2-seater's battery compartment lid required a different design.
Thomas is in Australia to plan the most efficient ways of getting his products to our market.
He let me in on some of the projects he is currently working on ...
Molle panels to fit on the inside of the solid rear panels, for those who don't have rear side windows.
Replacing the battery compartment cover on Utility Wagons with smaller sectional lids.
Modifying the hinges on the rear side doors to open wider so that you could install slide out drawers etc.
Developing a more substantial folding number-plate bracket to replace the plastic one provided by INEOS to those with winches.
I also asked him about a UHF antenna bracket for those of us without roo bars, and together with Andy, he said they would look at a side mirror mount or a bonnet mount.
Thomas has great passion for the Grenadier, and a keen eye for detail. It was a real pleasure meeting him (and Andy) today, and I would definitely recommend checking out their websites.
