I finally completed my hand made custom rack for the El-cheapo Sears top case!
Materials:
2 pcs of 3' x 1/2" steel tubing (Lowe's) $18.59
2 1/2" u-bolts (local hardware store) $4.00
1 can of black spray paint (V.I.P Auto Parts) $4.00?
Hand bent the steel (don't have a tubing bender, yet) borrowed Dad's wire feed welder, hammered, shaped and drilled the ends that mount to the bike.
Took a little effort to get the bends correct,and upon close inspection it wouldn't win any welding or fabrication awards, buts it works for me at minimal cost.
Viola, I think a pretty neat little rack, that I can mount pretty much anything to.
Also, if you have access to any flat screen TV mounting kit, they contain a wealth of great usable parts!!!
