I didn't use the hardware that came with the rack so I didn't need to remove
hinge. Also, I can easily take the rack off as needed. I used a stainless
bolt the diameter of the hinge pin and used a bushing to fit the hole in the
rack piece. I could send pics or offer more info if desired.

Subject: [TR] trunk luggage rack TR3
i have just bought a trunk luggage rack for my TR3. its a replica of the
original type that fastens through the hinge.
I'm a little reluctant to take off the hinges as the modern replacements (mine
are) just strip threads even by looking at them.
has any one done this installation?
how tough was it to get the hinge pins out?
is the bolt for the rack the same diameter as the hinge pin or do i need to
drill out the hinge?
any words of wisdom?
thanks
Frank
