Re: Luggage Rack Installation

[James Espey <james@xxxx>]

In the final issue of the 'zine, I wrote a piece on the install of the
luggage rack, and touched on the absence of the rivets. I think the solution
was to line up the rack visually, based on the factory photos and then
measure from side to side to ensure a match. There are also some spot welds
which can be used as a guide, too. Nevertheless, there's no substitute for
measuring, and then measuring again.

I also recall that when drilling the lower holes for the hinges, take care
that the when the drill bit goes through, it doesn't accidentally hit the
pontoon and mar, or worse, put a hole in it!
