Thanks!!

SO between paint getting messed up and getting the flatbed put back together i was working on a way to make the pipes mount to the rack as easy as possisble. heres what i came up with.. This is version 1 and im sure there will be a few before i try it with a set of S&P's pipes
so heres a mock up with the old rack i made and some 1/2" copper..

Took a reg soup can and made some cuts



Drilled some holes and added a screw making the loop as tight as poosible
(and trust me the pipes are not going to move!!)






Just about as realistic as i can get with it without making a mount on the rack and bolting the strap to the mount on the rack like on the 1:1's

What do ya think?? Ill prob make another 20 before i can get the 4 i need to be perfect...

Thanks for looking
