I bought this many years ago from a chap who had it laser cut. It is very substantial. It has brackets that fit on the back of an S7 monocoque and allow the rack to hang off the back. It has 2 x support rods that are attached to the rack and should slot into 2 x brackets that were made to fit at the bottom of the tub. Unfortunately I do NOT have the 2 x brackets that fit at the bottom of the tub as they were still attached to my car when I sold it. They were just 2 x T shaped brackets with a hole so would be easy to fabricate. Once fitted it is strong enough to sit on and bounce up and down
). I hung 4 x lengths of allthread from the rack and a couple of aluminium bars and it becomes a 2 tier rack that will take 2 x large plastic containers. It served me well travelling to Le Mans for a week with cooking equipment, clothing and "stuff".
It will be too heavy to organise reasonable postage and I am not messing about. It has hung on the wall of my garage for the last 8 years or so, but i need it gone. . Pictures of the rack and when it was fitted to my car.

For anyone that hasn't been, this is an event I organise. It consists of a fantastic pub in the country where we camp over Fri and Sat just behind the pub. Usually an excellent run out on Saturday before heading back to the pub. Landlord lets us tip up anytime Friday and pitch a tent in the pub grounds. Or there are some local motels if you need some slates above you head. There is no pressure to eat in the pub, no pressure to come for a run out on the Saturday or stay both nights. All welcome. If you want a run out a beer or two and pitch a tent for a free nights camping that's fine.
Arriving to camp anytime PM on Friday 20th. Camping Friday and Sat nights FREE!!!! In the pub grounds.
I have now confirmed date with Landlord and I will try and book the sunshine !!!! Will be a run out for the Saturday. Usual 10.15 am getaway for anyone not stopping over Friday and joining us for the day run out. Please try and be ready with a fullish tank for 10.15 am at the Smallways pub.

Many of you wont know him, but a member of the RHOCaR West Yorkshire contingent, Barrie Jackson, lost his battle with cancer last week. A lovely chap who looked after my engine crane for about 3 years and still never fitted his replacement engine.
My condolences are with the family and the monthly meetings will be a little quieter.

At 2k what have you got to lose. Buy it drive for this summer if you don't like it move it on. It has bottomed out price wise. I miss mine and have a 5 lite V8 merc as a toy, but also I enjoy my daily tintop, hence the Merc gets little use. In fact I used to use the kit more than the Merc as I dont want it spoiling and repair bills are astronomical. £250 alternator - £278 pair of dizzy caps and rotors ...... etc etc.

I will...

Just caught up with this Pete. Best wishes for speedy recovery. Take it easy......

In the spirit of moving things round so everyone get a chance to come to a venue nearer to them for 2018 we are relocating the monthly meet to a previous haunt. We are going back to the Moorlands Inn, on the main A629 Halifax to Keighley Road. Full address is:
The Moorlands Inn
Keighley Road
Ogden
Halifax
West Yorkshire
HX2 8XD
Meeting will still be the FIRST Monday of every month. HOWEVER for January the first Monday falls on the 01st Jan, which is not ideal for everyone. So I will go on BOTH the 01st of Jan and also a special one on the following Monday, which is the 08th of Jan. So the choice is yours, but I am betting the 08th will be better for most.
Pub is located here :
not far from Ogden Water.
Cheers and Merry Christmas to all. Lee
