Hi Layercake

I guess the fitting hardware is probably going to be very hard to find.

If you have the actual luggage rack but not the hardware I would have a go at making some as there seems to be only the following:

The long machine screws, support tubes, retaining tabs and then likely a washer and nut (if the retaining tab isn't threaded)


Keep us posted :bounce:

I think you could be right, I have advertised on a number of places with no luck.
If anyone has a set and could loan me one of the brackets I could get them fabricated, I would send back recorded.

This is an interesting read, shows the mounting hardware for the AMCo unit

https://derwhites356literature.com/New3 ... sches.html

You can get the Lietz rack mounting hardware from here (perhaps mod it to work?)

Or try this guy... Advert was on a Cobra website with the mounting hardware for a 356, its sold but just perhaps the person that bought it put it on a cobra and has the mounting hardware sitting in a box... for 5 years

Thats great info Rustytubs, derwhites is a great source of information for anything 356 related.

I have sent the person who sold the rack a message, you never know, I'll keep you updated.

No reply, so I guess he no longer has the details.

I managed to source an original full set from the states, a very nice guy had a set he was not using.

These are definitely not easy to find.
