rear rack for 1VJ

**skylark_za** · #1 14 Jul 2004

I am looking for a rear rack for a 1986 1VJ. If anybody has one laying about or is selling one, please let me know how much you would like for it.

or

If anybody wouldn't mind taking a few photographs of the rear rack on their bike from different angles showing design and mountings, I could fabricate one for myself.

Thanks in advance.

where are you???

I have a 1vj with a fairly solid rack, in manchester.

I can certainly take photo's, but will take a couple of days to get a digital camera.

PS Does yours have a washer half showing between the block and the gearbox?? I have, and was going to take it out, until I saw others at the HUBB do with one fitted!

I think you'll find the "half-washer sticking out" is no more than the edge of the base gasket.

The other guys may well have been a gasket. Mine is absolutely a washer (you can see part of the inner hole).

It must have been put there by dave of lambeth, so I presume there is some logic, but I'm bu99ered if I can work out what it is!

I am in Hertfordshire, I would appreciate you taking some photos when you have the time. Photos can be sent to me at skylark_za(AT)yahoo.com (You will have to replace (AT) with @)

As for your washer dilemma, take a photo of it and I will have a look at mine, as my bike too was rebuilt by Dave.

Thanks
