Luggage Rack
October 2005 (Addition)
This is a simple, practical addition - albeit an expensive one. The stainless
steel rack as supplied by NG is specially designed to fit over the spare wheel
and looks attractive with sloping top legs, four longitudinal rails and a case
support bar at the bottom.
There are four fixings to be drilled through the rear ‘boot’ panel and tap
washers make suitable cushions for these with large plain washers on the inside. The
lower fixings have wing nuts and the upper fixings are hinged so that the rack
can swing up for the spare wheel to be removed.
The price of over £350 is enough to make one think twice, however, and many
owners decide to use other solutions. One possibility is to use a standard rack
with extender legs but removing the spare wheel can be a problem unless some
modification is made. For me it was a case of ‘in for a penny, in for a pound’.
