I have a 1933 RP box.
I recently purchased a folding luggage hamper rack at the Glamis Extravaganza, I noted similar racks on Austin 7 and 10s at the Extravaganza
Having rubbed off the rust, painted it and oiled the connectors, I have made up a mount to attach to the bolts holding the "rear bumper"
(It's not really a "bumper" is it, but it holds my number plate and rear lights)
Anyway, I can see how the rack folds in the middle for stowage and presumably should be held with bungee cords to the spare wheel.
My problem is that when it is the down position, the rear section folds down instead of remaining horizontal with the front section.
An obvious solution is to drill holes in it and fix with bolts, possibly with wing nuts for easy stowage when I'm finished using it.
However, those bolt holes are not in it now, so that cannot be the way it was meant to work.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to secure it when in the down position?
I have attached a photo of it.
