Luego just use a strip of 3-4mm thick and about 30mm wide rubber cut off and wrapped around the rack, and a large steel saddle clamp, which they make up. Much cheaper than £26.







1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Best Regards

cheers guys
i think i'll go down the really cheap route and use strips of metal and rubber. working for a design and manufacturing company means i'll be able to get the materials extra cheap if u know what i mean
cheers

Yes, I used Capri ones. Can't remember which mk Capri tho (not all the same). Speed Shack sell Poly buses for the necessary Capri too. £10 or so IIRC.
