Luggage Rack

Post by RaneeHobbs »

I have the luggage rack - but one of the bolts are broke. Can I just buy the bolts & mounting pads and if so where?

You can probably find suitable bolts at the hardware store. I'm not sure about the pads.

I'm curious to know if you ever found the mounting pads. After reading your post I checked mine and was surprised to see that they were simply cut from an old bicycle inner tube.

Funny fix, but it's working fine.

I had success finding the hardware at Home Depot and just used the right sized rubber washers (forgot the size unfortunately). I think it looks great, sits flush all around and the rubber washers keep it from rattling at all
