If your luggage doesn’t get wet out on the rack, all those holes in the lid ought to help ensure the stuff inside the trunk gets wet too! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I don’t have a source for you, suspect you will have to find same model rack that is used and being parted out. Maybe a needle in a haystack? Possible to use aluminum bar stock and cut, mill, drill, polish. Won’t match chrome 100% but could pass at 10 feet? I guess you could go the last bit and plate up with chrome but even then, new chrome looks different than old chrome with patina. Not much help, just tossing out ideas.

Agree
Not likely to be parts available Probably buy a complete used rack. Even different brand Or maybe you get lucky and find one of the same brand |

Hard to see how they are constructed and from what but if it were me, and I was married to that rack, I'd first take one of those to an appropirate shop, if it is just broke sheetmetal take it to a sheetletal fabricator, if it is machined, well that is a no brainer. And for the wood a finish carpenter or furniture maker could make a close clone insert, but matching grain and color can be tough sometimes. But that is what they do.

I would replace it with the more popular amco luggage rack. You can always plug the holes.

This is my trunk rack. They don't make them anymore. Go to a hardware type store & fabricate something that looks similar. Tom Attached thumbnail(s) |

Thanks all,
I will look into boat accessory company's. Murphy has front oil tank and no room for luggage. Rear trunk gets way to hot, I can keep pizzas hot. This side show will have to wait for #597 to be road legal... Matt |

If you have the muffler heat shield off the car, put it back in and it helps that situation greatly. I took the shield off my green car when I was younger and dumber and eventually I'll cut one off a parts car and weld it back into place on mine. Right now only heat tolerant stuff goes in the back of my 914. Zach |

This side show will have to wait for #597 to be road legal... Matt I think you will need to make something. I might suggest looking at junk boat yards...they tend to strip all the chrome and stainless to resell. OR It does look like a drawer slide size...might work with some hand work. Rich |
