StevehS3 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I wondered what people use in the garage to prevent them being knocked over/damaged when working on the car? I spotted this in the blog which looks great and wondered if there was something off the shelf (excuse the pun) or any tips for making one.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I used some ikea table legs screwed to the wall with a bit of pipe insulation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 there was a bulk buy a few years ago - will be in the archives! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 7, 2019 Member Share Posted March 7, 2019 Nose and Bonnet Rack Bulk BuyI don't think that it includes a spec but it does give lots of contacts who might help.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevehS3 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Many thanks everyone. I’ve found something at the back of the garage left over from a builder that should make a nice rack. Always quite rewarding to make something useful out of clutter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted March 7, 2019 Leadership Team Share Posted March 7, 2019 This was my modest solution for a bonnet rack - simple, takes up little space and works really well...http://lowflying.lotus7.club/2010/2010_05_03_bonnet.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevehS3 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Thank you A10ROX and Michael - two very different solutions. I remember the LF article in the dim and distance past. I think I will make one of the wooden ones to save a bit of garage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCol Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I made one myself using 12mm copper pipe and soldered fittings. It’s attached to the wall with pipe clips and cable ties and wrapped in pipe insulation.Cheap and effective. (That said, so is Garth’s!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
