Why ?

Bak-rak is a new generation of multi-use rack - bak-rak aims to provide the flexibility anyone needs to carry stuff mounted behind the car. To achieve this we have a range of brackets that allow all sorts of combinations to be produced.  

Note : You don't need any of these brackets for any of the normal bak-rak operations - carrying bikes etc. The brackets are to allow you to do other things. 

What ?

1. Flat stainless steel bracket to allow flat items to be fitted and locked onto the rack. We use this bracket to mount a light-bar - but it can just as easily be used to mount a flat sheet onto a rack, vertically or horizontally. Made of 2mm Stainless Steel fitted with a M8 captive nut. Can be operated with our Locking handwheel or a standard M8 bolt. Bracket £5 each [includes a non-locking handwheel] ; Locking Handwheel £5 each [same is £8 from Thule] [P&P free]

2. Cross stainless steel bracket to allow two tubes to be locked together at right-angles. One of the tubes has to be able to slide the end through, the bracket sliding round the other tube. The photograph makes clear how it works. These are made of 3mm stainless steel and fitted with an 8mm captive nut. They can be used with the locking hand-wheel or a bolt. Bracket £5 each [includes a non-locking handwheel] ; Locking Handwheel £5 each [same is £8 from Thule] [P&P free]

3. Xtender bars. They allow longer items [or more bike racks] to be mounted on the frame. The Xtender gives over 1000mm of usable length. They telescope out to the required length then lock in position with a self-drill bolt.  Xtenders are £25 per set of two including a locking handwheel.

Typical uses for Xtender brackets are the fitting of more bikes, the mounting of other kit clear of a boot-mounted spare wheel, or the ability to quickly change between different uses.

4. Tube - we recommend using stainless tube which we sell at £10 per metre [spec is type 304 25x25x1.5 wall]. Up to you to cut it off to the lengths you want and limited by what DHL are prepared to ship.

How?

Use the brackets to give you the sort of rack that you need. 

You can use cross-brackets to mount vertical posts to give another level on the rack [e.g. skis mounted above a bag of ski-boots]. 

You can fit a flat plywood deck using the flat brackets with cut-outs for a wheel-chair, electric scooter, kite-buggy or push-chair to conveniently locate them on the rack. 

You can fit a box onto Xtender brackets so it can be rapidly changed for bike-racks.

The only limitations are your imagination and the loading on the tow-bracket.
