Ok, I thought it might be close... a slot top and bottom to thread a suitable U bolt though, then bolt the rack to it, get the position set, then weld the U bolts in place...

Unsure of the rack mounting positions but one U bolt for each mounting position :y

Yes all doable, but the best way will present itself in good time. ;)

Last night on the M1 acquired a nasty chip on the front screen. Not going particularly fast and not close to anyone. Seemed to come out of nowhere.  >:(
What's your experience of chip repair companies?
