Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Hey I got the message about this, I really like the tomahawk, but I've got company in town and we are going to be out riding motorcycles :)

Have fun though

looks like a great turnout and some cool fabrication... I am completely confused though by the second peice. The rear bench part makes sense and the laptop thing is great, but the peice with the mirror hole in it goes where??

I'm new to the Delica world. In fact, I don't own one yet but I'm hoping to find out more and ultimatley snag what seems like an ultimate vehicle (in terms of versatility and economics). It looks like some of the Delica veterans are on the leading edge and I'd like to learn more before I invest.

Coaxial,

The meshed piece is hinged onto the rear bench piece and has two legs that fold down. The bench part is the base. The meshed part swings up and down and the two are held together by three hinges (with three removable bolts so it is easily removed). Down when the back seat is folded away, this is to store my tools under and stow things like gallons of paint on top (or whatever) and the mesh is at an angle that hides much of the view from the rear wind screen when looking in. When the back seat is folded out and as far back as it goes the meshed piece is then in the up position. While it is in the up position the expanded mesh itself is at the correct angle so there is less in the way of my rear view, however, the back-up mirror requires more detail when using ~ so I cut a hole in the mesh. The main bench piece, incidentally, is held in place by two carriage bolts, so it too is easily removed.

I picked that shape for the hole because I thought it was prettier than a plain old square ~ style man, style.... smiles.
