I know Gossy was thinking of doing it to his wagon. Best bet is to ask him. I can get hold of him if you like?

Cool

No - but I'd like one...

The RTRS 1/2 rear cage (as seen in Mellow's old P1 & Hoppy's + others) doesn't fit a 5dr as mountings are different. Would require a re-jig to get it to fit.

There was talk of a 5-dr version being created - Chris, any news????

A normal GpN will fit - just depends if you wish to use your rear seats or not

Enuff to need a new jig made up for the X bar & new mounting points/bars. Only thing that was OK was the hoop

IF there was enough demand (ie 10+) from Wagon owners with confirmed orders, then it might be worth making a new jig, but you'd have to speak to Mike (PD) on that. Or Chris (Mellow).
