Luggage Rack pads


Recommended Posts

Hi

I've just bought a nice stainless boot rack for my TR4 (the type that fits under the hinges and behind the number plate). I was wondering whether or not to fit flat rubber under the mounting points to save damage to the paintwork (cellulose). Will this cause any problems with the hinges as it will step them out a touch?

In my experience, if you hit a bump in the road with any significant load on that type of rack it will shatter your (mazak) boot hinges. It's a nice idea but the boot hinges were never designed for this load.

No Andy, thin packer is a good idea, might the paintwork while drilling.

Can you bell me sometime?

John.

We'll have a look at it together shortly when we determine why my boot lid isn't sitting perfectly square. thanks for your help as ever

Andy
