Home Built Bike Rack for Hatchback
I saw one on the net I liked so I went out back to the steel rack and started welding.
The arms were taken from an old bumper mount rack. I used 1" square tube, 1.25" square tube, 1/4" thick steel plate, 1" round tube, and $5 worth of new bolts. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

The rub
It sure will. I need to weld on a travel stop and move the pin hole a bit.

I love momentum.

Or coat just put a little bumper pad between the rod/bumper when you're using it.

I was thinking about a little adapter with a cotter pin attached above the license plate holder to steady it.
