Guys,
I am trying to find a set of AMCO Luggage Rack Mounting Hardware.
If anyone has a set they would like to sell please get in touch.

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

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

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.
