I think Ed returns on Sat, he may or may not come to Belfast which might depend on when he returns to the workshop

I have spoken with Ed and should soon be in a position to advance this project.

I have a couple of SS fabricators locally who i'm in talks with about non DMC stuff so I'll add this to my list.

Did anything happen about getting reproduction luggage racks made?
Originals a bit pricy from Ed me feels.

Hi
It proved to work out almost the same price.... Still trying to get the price down

If you want one, might be able to get one brought over in a car from the USA

I have a rack but missing the clips for the car, I swapped it for some parts with the intention of making a new version, but to be honest the original one, if in good condition, look quite good IMHO.

I have a clip so I might just get some copies made, aluminium version would be nice, SS is probably a bit extravagant and heavy.

Which clips are you missing James? The hinges?

Yep, I exchanged the rack for some parts but the 'exchangeee' who shall remain nameless, only sent me one of the hinge clips.

I dare say I could make some up, but I'm not looking to fit if any time soon anyway.

That was the part which looked to be the most expensive, it's worth looking into it further

You are better off re-fabricating them, the original ones don't fit!!! The hinges for the bottom of the rack are okay as the lower rack arms are adjustable. The top ones are fixed and I was about 10mm out on the locating holes, so I had to modify the top hinges

I didn't realise that you had a luggage rack on your car Jason.
