I got one of those replica-of-original TR3 luggage racks that mount thru 
the hinge pins.  Thanks to a recent thread the pins were dead easy to 
press out w/o even removing the hinge (thanks Alex).

Of course the dingus came with no instructions so it must intuitively 
obvious... but I don't see how it all fits up back at the hinges.  I've 
got a pair of of pins that insert thru the outer side of each hinge 
leaving a threaded stud projecting outward on each side.  I take it the 
rear legs of the rack go over these studs... but how?

I am assuming one can mount & remove the rack w/o unbolting the hinges 
from either the lid or the body... that was rather the point in the 
design I think, but I don't see how.

Also, when the rack is not in place I'm thinking a stainless steel bolt 
(of appropriate diameter) with a self-locking nut would be okay in place 
of the removed pin.  Right?

Thanks for any help.

Geo
