Wrightpayne Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Years ago there was a bulk buy fabricated welded metal frame that you could fix to the wall. I'll see if I can find the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K7 VCT Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 7 wonders,,, garage is 8x7 metres so no need for bedroom use. Reason we bought the garage with a house attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadership Team Mcalvert Posted April 15, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted April 15, 2020 The simple solution I use for bonnet storage is as I outlined in Lowflying in 2010 (crikey, where does time go?). It's in the archive here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Jonathan the wise one pointed it out to me. Thanks Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garth Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Like the pic in post 4 but I used some old IKEA table legs I had knocking about with some pipe insulation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCol Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I made a rack similar to that in #4 from 15mm copper pipe... painted and wrapped in pipe insulation, it looks great when empty and does the job superbly.Then I saw Garth's set-up and kicked myself that his solution was *so* much simpler and easier to achieve, if not as elegant!

Domus Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I have one of the bonnet and nosecone racks, it too sits adjacent to the kitchen door. When in use the nosecone is exactly the same height as Paul Richards' head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K7 VCT Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thanks guys for all the inputs . I have some galvanised steel conduit and fittings to make a nosecone rack. Mr Calverts wooden bonnet storage made today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrenkidney Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I just completed mine from Douglas scraps. The arm lengths are 450 for the nosecone and 650 for the bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
