Mgf boot rack fixing brackets

[tomward]

Does anyone know if it’s possible to source the mounting brackets and locking mechanism for the black MG branded boot rack?

It’s the black type with four rubber feet and an attachment on each side.

Alternatively is there an aftermarket fixing kit anyone uses which I can fit?

E-Bay have a basic no-lock kit for £18. The Black MGR Rack was off the shelf with a MG sticker and twice the cost.
The other Boot Rack was a BMW/MG Stainless Steel Rack that bolts onto the boot lid with strengthening rails underneath. A lock on suitcase was also available. When removed, there are stainless blanks to fit. Not cheap.
Beware.The later MGR copy Racks were chrome plated and quickly rusted. A magnet is required.
In 2005, A Dealership sold off their stock with 50 per cent discount. My SS rack and case have done a lot of miles and kilometres .

Hi Geoff, thanks for the reply.

This one I have is the black one. Do you know which kit off eBay is this no lock one you refer to?

Easy. MGF luggage boot rack.

I have a used black MG branded boot rack. It came to me without keys for the locks and a replacement pair of lock is very difficult to source.
A pair of locks with keys is available here:

But the barrel is slightly too long. I put a thick washer around the barrel and it works.
Just in case anyone has the same problem as I had.
