I didn't know you could get them either. I had my camera in my bag so Dezzy took a couple of pics...

Betcha it's an S1 rack and he's got a lovely collection of star cracks in his upper clam now.

It was pinkem from here . . . I don't know if he posts much these days but he'll maybe be along sometime to tell us all where he got this. I'm guessing it's an S1 rack too :thumbsup

Hi there,

Sorry have not been on here for a while....

Yes that was me. Great to do the convoy for a few miles. Got some attention for sure.

Nice car you have there

Enjoy

The rack is a stainless number which I converted from an ebay purchase design for a triumph, but works well on the elise. Just the right size. Cost only £60 and well worth the money. I use it a lot. Let me know if you want one and I will look out the link.

Thanks

Check your clam mate - the reason that they didn't do one for the S2 ('cos they did on the S1) is that the clams are vac-formed and much thinner. I'd have thought mounting a luggage rack and putting anything on it would star crack it like crazy.

No it is not through the clam. I have attached this using brackets so not to cause damage :thumbsup

Takes a good weight too. No rust either after full winter season.
