What Have You Bought Today?

[Ajk]

You can get replacement keys on eBay for pennies. The number on each of the lock barrels is the "key" to success!

From Fleabay at a very good price, only 2 bike arms and no keys though....

Keys?

I assume when it's not in use it folds up and locks into place to prevent it dropping down accidentally?

 

[Sackmycook]

Yep, couple of quid, for the locking arms....

Ah! I use one of the bike tether straps to tether it to itself!!!

Sounds like you should move on that then!

I think so, not had time to give it the once over yet, but looks all there.....
I think I'll need some paintwork protection pads or something and a set of instructions off tinterweb....

3M paint protection film is quite decent stuff. I've not used it for a bike rack but I'm sure it'll do the job just as well.

3m paint protection film will do the trick. There are places on t’internet that have the actual cutouts for the bike rack.

@Sackmycook - I’m sure I can dig out my instruction manual. I can send you a photocopy or scan of it if you want

A daft little thing, but a 3D printed coat hook attachment that slots into the head rest ‘arms’. I’ve attached it to the single rear seat (in my 2+1 Kombi), so easy to tilt the seat forward to access jackets.

Lol, ALL of these items are on my checklist, but spent enough on bits and bobs this month, so counting down the days until payday to re-set acceptable monthly van related purchases (roll-on Friday, but must still remember the kids need Christmas presents more than I need an Ovano Kombi bed and storage set-up this side of Chrimble. Do kids need Christmas presents these days though, surely that's just bad for the environment? I could just give them an IOU to recycle more, would that work instead?)

A lump of coal and an orange should suffice.
