  • Boot rack

    Are our ‘boots’ strong enough to take a rack on top - I doubt it so I wonder what you’ve done to strengthen before fitting (mark 1 vitesse based)

    Re: Boot rack

    I had a boot rack on my Marina based Roadster but the lower two legs were fitted to the rear 'bumper/ chassis rail' by extending those two legs. Never had a problem carrying a reasonable sized case.

        Have a look here, posts 63 and 65 have some pics, and exhaust clamps are always good for attachments to the rear bumper :

          In addition to my previous post when I extended the lower legs I incorporated two rose joints so that the boot rack could pivot out of the way for access to the spare wheel.
