I'd want to be careful with putting a simple download on that bar, for fear that the cantilevered load might just pull it out of its socket. At least do some lashing/bungies to add a forward force to the rear crossbar to hold it in place. The same thing would apply to simple weight applied to the front crossbar, but at least air drag would tend to pull the front piece INTO place, rather than out. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
