Locost-type request please
Being as I'm an inveterate cheapskate I resent paying £60 for summat I can make meself, especially if it isn't a device requiring rocket
science-levels of technological understanding!
So, does anyone own a towbar-mounted bike rack, the sort with the bracket that bolts between the towball an it's mounting plate? If so,
could/would they take a couple of piccies and jot down some dimensions (including tube sizes & gauges) so's I can 'ave a bash at
fabbing one up please?
Cheers

Why not go down Halfrauds and take a tape measure and a camera.

Open the box and say you want to see the size and quality. But I bet they have one on display.

Managed to find the rack but not the mounting, have got another plate to fit between the ball and the towbar that would need 2 small bits of angle
welded on . Still hope to go to locost club meet tomorrow , will need directions or postcode if you still want rack .

I've now got meself a bike rack, courtesy of Rusty Nuts. Might I take this opportunity to say that he's a top bloke and I'd
recommend dealing with him to anybody.
