Godlykepower Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I am wanting to manufacture something to hold a Hi-Lift to a Brownchurch 91 system rack. I THINK I know what this thing will look like, but not sure . I dont know how to weld, nor do I have any facilities to work with metal. Sooooo.....which lovely, helpful person (flattery will get you everywhere!) will help me with this thing, and knock it up for me?? Brownchurch dont have anything available themselves for this type of rack, already tried them. Beer tokens available. Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hi Would a bungee and a chain/padlock not work? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlykepower Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Would a bungee and a chain/padlock not work? It probably would. But I was thinking of something a little more permanent & secure.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Dont they usually consist of a plate with a lip that the foot slots into, then a pin that one of the rack holes goes over, and you put a padlock through the end of the pin, Is that the type you mean?

mmgemini Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I carry mine across the front bumper. No winch you see. I do have the drawings of the brackets. I suppose you could make them fit the Brownchurch. mike A leopard can change its spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmgemini Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Mike, do you mean which route across Africa?? Yes please. We've got a lot of books frfom the library........ p.s. when you get the winch. Stay with a steel rope. Aparently sand can get into the other stuff and damage it. mike A leopard can change its spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
