That's kind of you Smokey, thanks.
The touch point of the rear wheel will have to go up on a bulkhead that runs accross the width of the van.
Behind that the floor is dropped -to make the wheelchair ramp shorter without too steep an incline.
My idea is that the rear No plate and back end of the bike will be between driver and passenger seats. As long as I can still use the van's handbrake and gearstick.
The ramp lifts yo upright and the two rear doors shut over it. I'm not sure if it will work but if it does the bike's steering will probably have to be on lock rather than straight, and I may need to cut a hole in the ramp where the front wheel comes, which will gain an inch or two.
If it wont fit I always fancied owning a hearse...
I'll collect the bike on a trailer and work it out when its home again.
Thanks again though.

Hi give or take an inch from the tip of the front wheel to the touch point on the back wheel it is 6 feet exactly.
Hope this helps?
Obviously there is another foot or so after the touch point but I guess you are not worried about this.
