These discontinued models look good for the money. Says they will fit a Freda/Bongo.

I tried one, sent it back. Well made, but not a good fit on Bongo, as Bongo tailgate doesn't raise as high as T5 etc.

Shame, nice lady running the business, and we did discuss the possibility of a a proper Bongo version.
