I have been trying to find a luggage rack for my maggot and can't believe how difficult it is!  Does anyone know of one that might be sitting unused and unloved somewhere that could do with a good home?? 

Alternatively, does anyone have any ideas of any others that may fit... bearing in mind that I am not much of a metal worker and alterations need to be kept to a minimum!!!

I have tried Ebay but missed one by moments!!!! there dont seem to be any others there, but will keep on checking...:?

Thanks folks.

There you go Joanna.

The answer to your problem AND a restoration project, all in a matter of minutes!

Well done, Jamie!

Nothing wrong with that carrier that some elbow grease, emery cloth and Hammerite won't put right in an afternoon. :cool:

Jamie.... I think that you are a truly wonderful person....

I am not sure about the etiquette of trading here... do you name a price or do I say that I would like to pay about £20 plus postage?

I think that it is in lovely condition.... it looks alot like me... a little flakey with a few age spots... but would still look good going along the road on an maggot!

thanks mate....

Etiquette? Well, a gentleman always takes his weight on his elbows and remembers that it should be "Ladies first." :D

Oh, are you talking about Forum etiquette? :P

Maybe some Personal Messages so that you can exchange details and addresses in private?
