They are an excellent fit into the cills/sponsons on the Xi as the only storage They look just right. I made mine from aluminium but I haven't finished off the covers yet. Quote

Took a bit of finding in the right size after spotting them in an ice cream parlour, I was not that confident of making my own , aluminium never folds where I want it too. I probably wont fit them until post IVA and door refit just to make sure the covers open without problems . 1 Quote

If you Google you will see that they are based upon a set size.. the biggest is a 2x1, then the most common is a 1x1 which is half the size. They are then available in halves, thirds, quarters and months etc as a fraction of the 1x1.. Different depths too.. also in polycarbonate.. Quote

I was familiar with the gastronorm range but they were all the wrong sizes to fit in the Xi sills , this size is sold specifically for scoop ice cream . I wanted a metal one to restore the stiffness in the sill as it involves cutting a large hole in the sill . 1 Quote
Popular Post StevieG Posted Tuesday at 19:42 Popular Post Posted Tuesday at 19:42 So from work we get a quarterly "wellness allowance". Meant for home office niceties, gym subscriptions, fitness equipment etc. You get the idea. I managed to sneak these through as "gym trainers", in a fetching shade of Westfield blue to match the car. Just right for the treadmill, or a small pedal box, whichever seems more appropriate! 🤣🫣🤫 7 4 Quote
