Strapping Luggage on?

Coming down to Stoneleigh, its a 200 mile run.

I need somewhere to attach the bungees on the boot cover.

Can anyone recommend any little loops to put round the edge??

Most people just use rucksacks attached to the rearstays of the roll bar...

Don't know whether that's suitable for you?

Steve I have fitted eye bolts through my boot cover, got them from screw fix, they also have all sorts of fittings if you look through their catalogue, you can have a look tomorrow night if you are going to the church mouse.

Hi,
depending what day you are going, but if you are travelling south on A19 then you are more than welcome to put your stuff in my van, i,m traveling down in my van as i,m collecting a full set of bodywork for my build, i,m sure i can squeeze your stuff in ,
just a thought, also if anyone else in north east wants anything taking then just shout, i,m setting off on saturday about 11ish, camping sat night & returning home to stockton on tees on sunday evening.
cheers
andy

Snuggs is the supreme master at strapping luggage on.

Hi Mate.

Get yourself down your local boat chandlers. Loads to choose from there.

I got some neat little stainless loops for about 80p each.

I fitted a load of p clips underneath the bolts that hold the boot lid down. Cost pennies.

I don't think anyone can beat Marcus for packing a 7!

When I went on the coast run from Newlands last September I decided to take my spare wheel and attached it using nylon straps. Depending on your roll bar it might work. I did:

1. strap round roll bar cross brace, through gap in buckle
2. over/through wheel (in your case, over luggage
3. under rear panel, looped round cross-tube under tank
4. back up over luggage and fixed to the buckle

I used 2 of these and it was fine. Depends on what you have got handy I s'pose Rescued attachment luggage.JPG

I have to admit... You cant beat a Strap-On





1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
