Hi, Do you have a powder coat or plain aluminium rack / th options on these racks are expensive
 ,but maybe worth it? I had a look at the OE mild steel rack .it looks good but will probably rust awy to nothing in time .
thanks for the reply  humour is that delicious perception of incongruity from a vantage point of ease and superiority... |

Hi, Plain alloy, as the first 110 i had for the rack was Silver, and a DC, so had the twin rear ladders,
With a bit of rejigging, fits the CSW OK with just the lh rear ladder,  Click image to enlarge In hindsight, glad i paid the extra, and went for the Patriot ,, as over the years it been worth it !! also have the side rails, with different length uprights, to raise when needed Click image to enlarge Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

Thanks for the pictures and your review. The rack loks robust and well made, and certainly enhances both the look and functionality of your 110 humour is that delicious perception of incongruity from a vantage point of ease and superiority...
