Easy swap but beware of seized nuts and bolts!

Dick Sloan on the FB group or J-Spec.
If none available, I have one but will take time to remove from car.

Thanks guys Iv sent a couple of emails so hopefully manage to find a replacement.

Just thinking tho, the part that has broken seems pretty robust and I wouldn't think the mount should just snap like that? The rest of the rack is perfect so pretty gutted to be honest.

Have seen a few posted on the FB page and others.
That's why I check mine on a regular basis.

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd give a update on finding the parts.

I got in touch with Andy at J-Spec as recommended by Carolyn and now have a rack on the way! Really very good service and will deffo use again 🙂

Just need to fit the thing now so any advice very welcome.
