Having just purchased 2008 Model Sundance I am dissapointed to find that Swift do not build in mounting points for a bike rack. No one can say bike racks are that uncommon, so why dont they incorporate the mountings during construction. My dealer says it is quite a big and expensive circa £500 to have one fitted because the cooker, fridge etc has to removed, so come on Swift I'm sure it will be a popular move.

Your dealer is robbing you!!! If you send Swift a PM they will happily dispatch you a rear drawing of your van showing mounting points (or at least batten positions) for the racks - I know, they sent me one!
However, I then decided to get it fitted because to be honest I hadn't had my van long & didn't trust myself drilling the skin .
So I took my van to LeisureTech at Clitheroe, Lancs (many others are available!!) and paid a total of £220 to have a Fiamma Pro C 2 bike rack fitted, and they did remove the cooker to fit it too. Shop around, you're being taken for a ride on that cost!!!
We do pre-fit the blocks into the rear for aftermarket bike racks to be fitted.
The issue here is the brackets have to be bolted through these blocks into the inside. In the case of the RS & LP end kitchen models the the two top mountings are accessible, but the two lower ones within the sink unit, one below the oven (in the pan flap area) and the other behind the fridge which means the fridge needs to be withdrawn.
If you wish I can send you the drawing showing the precise block positions,
It is not rocket science to fit a bike rack, you just need the knowledge and experience to do it, also to be competetive on the labour cost and the bike rack.
