"Peebles" 1964 Devon Caravette

So clamps are here and look exactly like the original ones...with the same shape size and finish...so I am very pleased...
Dave tried the assembly of the rack on the top of a Topless Devonette..
The Dormobile racks are very "flexible".... made from thinner wall tubing ...so I asked him to check the "splay " of the legs and the fit of the clamps..
These are made from a lot of parts...and are tightened by inserting a screwdriver shaft in the hole and rotating the body..
They fit a treat and clamp well..
So Dave then sprayed the parts with Silver white to match the bumpers and the pop top..
Looking forwards to fitting on Peebles....
and an inner tube to fit under the feet of the rack and clamps..
So looking forwards to fit them

Looking good
if you want to stay white I used this rubber sheet 1mm glued onto the feet.

Cheers for the link to Chad and the clamps...
