Colour was shit (ran out of time and used some shitty aldi paint).
Going to make a new set for my datsun wagon when the time comes, but use bamboo slating over the runners."Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."Comment

That's pretty much how some of them are. It's not like you're going to put any actual weight on the rack.Comment

I won't lie, they were a carnt to find, ended up finding them listed on an mx5 website as luggage rack feet. They came from the UK, I bought a spare set as I wasn't sure how long they would be around for.Originally posted by Bueller View Post
Before I found them I was looking at sink plungers :S
I actually took the design from original vw racks which I should have bought on ebay for $300;Originally posted by Gammaboy View Post
As shit as they looked, they actually worked surprisingly well, I carried a fair bit of shit in them and they only ever moved slightly. With the flex with the rubber feet, the suction component & the actual nut screwing down and pulling them outwards, they were very solid.
I found a design that is adjustable to suit different width roofs and uses a gutter mount, might use that for the next set.
I also considered making these as a kit, but if you are doing them yourself they are too labour intensive, you'd need to get them made in china based off a design to make actual money (unless you pay yourself $5 an hour or make a very good jig, but even then the paint and prep blows the time out).Pain is temporary, quitting is forever - Lance Armstrong (drug cheat)Comment
