  I got some Palau liners custom molded at Pro feet in Fulham - they were amazing. I've done the hot rice thing on some off the shelf snowboard liners too to get rid of some tight spots. Might be worth trying the DIY method on your existing liners first because if you're splashing out on new liners it's probably worth getting a pro to fit them.

  Any recommendations for SW8ish? Ideally a 1 stop shop for new plug sockets, floor, doors, built in storage and decorating.

  I did mine with some Halfords self etching primer and black hammerite and they came up good. Let some air out of the tires and hopefully you can wedge some cardboard between the tyre and the wheel to protect the tyres (admittedly I did this with the wheels off)

  I can't find the original YouTube video that inspired me but not dissimilar to this
  
  but with a lot less sanding/buffing

  EDIT: found it here
  
  and I didn't use any lacquer

  Gone now - sorry

  Yeah I was wondering if I could just drill and thread mine - but I don't think I'll get the location symmetric on both sides and I'm not sure the wall thickness of the fork would offer enough thread. I guess rivnuts would solve the 2nd problem.

  Pelago commuter in black mounted to the mudguard eyelets would give similar carry options and load capacity but for more £££. Might be cheaper than new fork + pizza rack though!
  You can also add low rider pannier supports

  How are you planning to attach a pizza rack without mid fork eyelets? I'd love to get one on my old mtb

  Still got the high roller hanging about

  Thanks for the reminder of Pelago - looks like the small version of their commuter rack with a wald or similar on top would give me the flexibility I'm looking for and is 10kg load rated

  Tempted by the Tevas - where are you based?
  Looks like they'd be ok for 9.5 in Nike/Adidas based on the rest of your collection?
