[TR] trunk luggage rack TR3

[npaul72464 at aol.com]

 I didn't use the hardware that came with the rack so I didn't need to remove hinge.  Also, I can easily take the rack off as needed.  I used a stainless bolt the diameter of the hinge pin and used a bushing to fit the hole in the rack piece.  I could send pics or offer more info if desired.

Subject: [TR] trunk luggage rack TR3


i have just bought a trunk luggage rack for my TR3. its a replica of the 

original type that fastens through the hinge.

I'm a little reluctant to take off the hinges as the modern replacements (mine 

are) just strip threads even by looking at them.

has any one done this installation?

how tough was it to get the hinge pins out?

is the bolt for the rack the same diameter as the hinge pin or do i need to 

drill out the hinge?

any words of wisdom?

thanks

Frank
