    Knocked up some racks.

    It's thought id post pics of the racks me n my ol man knocked up. We basically used Aluminium screen door cage, stupidly though we powder coated it before fitting and found the gutter feet we were going to use were way too short. So it's half painted. Half not.

    That's funny. I did the same thing. I made up a rack and painted it in a bit of a hurry, and after I put it on I realised there were a whole pile of things to change. Of course, that was a year ago. That was odd for me - usually I make something and then leave it unpainted for a while until I know it really is finished.
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    Looks good, but triangulate (brace) the mounts or it will shake side to side and damage the gutter, rack, vehicle.

    I see your point, but how would you brace it, is there a set way? Bob

    Question

    How do you get round ADR with a home made rack? And does it effect your insurance.
