Someone asked about a bike rack and I pulled up some old pictures I took. My machine work was kinda crude but it works great. (Tested with bike mounted at 100MPH at WCC 005.)

Rear bar and mount. I think I used Yakima parts. You can mount a tray for the tires to the front and rear bars just like you normally would on a roof rack.

thanks! really cool.

i don't know how those gutter clamps work, but are you concerned about damage/warping of the lid edge? did you have to modify the set up there?

My Yakima attaches to the fiberglass Targa top with NO mods. It's all nice and rigid and secure up there. My Yakima is for "Old" cars that actually have rain gutters.

I don't remember what model Yakima I used. It was origianlly used on my 911 to carry skis. I don't have a single picture of the bike mounted on the rack. Someone at the WCC 2005 took some pictures of it. I can't remember who. My original concern was that the rear mount would warp or otherwise damage the trunk lid but it didn't at all. I'm stuck in Louisville Kentucky for over a month for ground school but if anyone is still interested I'll take more pics when I finally get home.

Cheers, Elliot

I fabricated two simple brackets that mount to the existing ski rack holes. Each bracket has a bike tight mounted on it.

The rear tires of my mountain bikes sit right on the rear deck spoiler. My road bike has a shorter wheel base so I use a few pieces of water pipe foam insulator, slit down the side, and place them on the tire and tie it with a bandana (which is what actually touches the trunk or spoiler).

I usually leave one of the mounts on the car all the time.

Here is how the bikes sit on the car.

Looks good. A simpler and maybe better idea.

Here is the bottom side of the bracket. It really doesn't need the gusset.

I use a strap that is wrapped around the tail lite bracket in the trunk.
