    What are the part numbers for the newer/older mounts, and where can I get them?
    Can you order them for me?

    Ya those are the univeral ones that they used for a while, but they stopped. Mainly due to the fact that they suck.

    You can replace them with newer ones, or even the older style will work better.

    But what I would do is tear out all of that grey plastic stuff on the bolt, and just use a regular bolt with a washer should be able to get it alot tighter. Also try getting rid of the rubber blocks.

    Here are the mounts, are they universal?

    Is there some specific way I should be putting them on?

    I'm trying to find a camera.

    More or less ya, but it's hard to describe it. I tried putting it on, and I don't feel like it was a tight fit. It has those 4 little square things in between the "teeth", that you can move around and stuff.

    Well that should fit. I actually never got to see what mounts you had on there.



    Does it look like part "B"?

    Is the rack universal? If so, what is the brand?

    or is snowboard rack universal? If so, what brand?

    hey Trucidatio,

    could you post a picture of a universal rack mount?
    I got all the parts I need for the whole setup, but I'm not totally sure that the snowboard rack fits on the load bars, or if I'm just doing it wrong. so I dunno if I have a Universal mount or a rack specific one.

    I'll try to get a camera and post a picture of what I have too.

    This one is for the people who visit this thread.

    This is not my trailer, but we just finished this job and had to get a shot of it.

    Just random cars that someone might own, or be interested in buying, and a rack is something they would be interested in buying.



    As far as the old school racks go, you would pretty much have to custom fab it. I have not come across any racks that would fit directly onto an E30 and would give you the look you desire. I will do some research tonight and see what I can find.
    Sounds good, I couldn't really find anything so I think I may have some work ahead of me.

    Otherwise, nice info OP.
    I actually just bought a used universal rack. It fit fine and never moved.

    Onto my e30. Kinda inspired my my late grandfather's old bug, had a backyard built rack, 356 speedster suspension and drivetrain, and fuchs with cream two tone pink paint. I wish I had a pic or two of it.
