Re: Luggage Rack to the Test

Thanks for the info. I already have 4 1" nylon tie downs that should be able to do the job.

Elle,Take Note if you are remounting yours.

Here is what I did. I got some Gorilla Super Glue and re-glued the original rubber pads. After I know that is real dry I will reinstall the rack but for an added safe guard I bought four Neoprene Rubber Fender Washers that have a 1/4 hole in the middle but are 1 1/2" OD. That way if there is any slippage at all I should have it covered.

Once I get it remounted I'll post a pic with the back-up washer installed.

Here is the rack with the added washers.

Spence....Did the washers come from the Depot or an auto parts store?

Thanks, Spence...I'll get to H.D. after the storm passes tomorrow and pick up the necessary washers. What dept will I find them? Plumbling? I just love wandering around, not knowing where to look for something, and our particular H.D. doesn't have very knowledgable associates. I usually get side-tracked into either the gardening or appliance section, and I don't think Charley would like me coming home with a new koi pool or refrigerator! Yuk, yuk!

I went to HD last Sunday for some paint and came home with one of these for Sue!

Now before any comments, she asked for a new one.
She said the old one was too hard to handle.

She will not let me do the snow because she wants my weekly pay checks to keep coming .




Elle & Spence in case you forgot it's called a snow blower!

Elle, Go into the hardware dept. Nuts,Bolts etc. Look for a big plastic thing full of draws or small doors. Could also be a metal cabinet with long metal draws in it depending on the store. The washers come one per plastic pack and were $.80 per washer.
