Anyone got a spare metal rack :?:

[TheSmiler]

Anyone got a spare old metal rack thats scrap or cheap laying around? I've just purchased an old police box for the bike. Want to put a rack on top for adding more luggage. Thought I'd ask here before I go to ebay.

Also what would be the best will to block in those holes at the back so I can make the inside waterproof.

You mean like a metal renntec rack?

I think the one on my fazer carcass survived the fire. It'll need painting but it's all yours for the cost of postage.

Silicone for the holes or fill them with epoxy resin- araldite is most readily available- tape across the bottom of the hole, fill with araldite, remove tape when set.

Or an appropriately sized blind grommet (this would be the best).

Considering that you're cultivating a rat look, I'd just put multiple layers of duck tape over the holes, in the messiest way possible.

What you ideally want is something like this that I had on the topbox of my Goldwing.

However they do not come cheap, even second hand so I presume a hacksaw, a welder and some rusty old pile of dead rack is your best option.

As the borg said, I'd tape over the holes. But fur a slightly less ratty look if put some reflective tape on the outside; diamond grade red if it is pointing backwards, as I think it is from the pics. Then plain duck take inside. It'll cost a couple of quid for the tape and look neater than filling (unless you then properly prep it and repaint the box).

Or you could get some of these lights in red and fit them in the holes in the topbox.

Turns out all of the paint melted off, but the metal is solid still.
