Flat bar with ends turned over [ bolt through ] and there you have it bit of innertube to protect the paint ,M8 bolt and lock nut . The brackets to show what I mean ,Moved as far back as possible.

Hopefully, it'll be a simple enough job and look reasonably professional.

Probably get it at some point next week.

I'll see if I can take some video, weather permitting.

Just a thought. When considering this (using the cheapo rack with the existing seat rail) I was considering using some double pipe clamps as drilling the seat rail looked like it might weaken it to breaking point.


I'll be interested to see how you get on.

That looks like an interesting idea.

Where can you pick up that type of clamp for a good price?

Four of those would cost me more than the rack!

That's ridiculous, the rack has just been delivered!

If anybody needs one, here's the listing.

One of the reasons I lost interest.

I reckon Michael could be on the right lines, making your own clamps lined with rubber. I've done this previously on a much larger scale to fit rigid panniers to a rack. Used treadplate offcuts and sprayed them black.


Looks like I got ripped off, paid £19.99 for mine.
