Reese Carry Power 7054900 TransRack Conduit Carrier

It took me two hours to cut down a 10'x6" PVC pipe I purchased from Lowe's In order to adhere the paint, I cleaned the exterior of the PVC with 100% acetone from Sally Beauty Supply, sanded the tube, and then cleaned it with 100% acetone. Thereafter, I rolled on some bed liner paint (from Harbor Freight), which I applied in batches of 3 Then I applied 4 coats of paint and let them My next step was to screw the conduit ends into the conduit pieces after they had dried. This is the U-shape that I used To attach them to my Leer truck cap's Thule roof rack, I heated the bolts and mounted them. The bolts had bolted down and the device thought it was safe. Following a hard rain, my roof began to leak. The tubes went together with no other problems beyond the smell from the sealant that eventually went away, so I decided to use some silicon sealant and seal both ends where the conduit pieces meet the tubes. Once it dried, there were no leaks or other issues. My favorite part is that the fishing rod holder can be locked. This means I don't have to worry about my fishing rods In the event that they are stolen, I would need bolt cutters or a screwdriver to remove the entire tube from my locked tube.

I am going to use it to carry fishing rods, but I imagine it could hold a lot of conduit. The reels can still be attached to my longest rods of 7', and I can leave my longest rods in the water. I am going to tell you a bit about why I like Reece's one, and then I will also give you a few installation You'll find all the supplies you need in this kit to install the end caps and the U-bolts It is installed with bolts so that it is attached The U-shaped arm looks like it is made of stainless steel of high quality An oven-baked chicken with bolts and a side of fries A satin finish is applied to the ends and door of the aluminium. A car owner requested me to install it on their car I positioned it in such a way that the door would open up to the top rack. The way it is loaded or unloaded remains the same in that position. A window on the side or below would be an option if you have enough space. From now until the end of the year A loaded latch keeps the door from falling open when closed and the latch tension can be manually adjusted. Adding a padlock into the hole is a simple matter of drilling out enough space. The installation process * It includes two screws per end, making a total of eight screws. There is an option to use rivets instead of screws in the instructions and I used that instead. The handle measures 1/2inch in diameter and the shaft is 5/32 inch in diameter. As it turns out, I already had a few 3/16" rivets on hand that would have worked with not much The idea that a thief was only four screws away from my rods and reels just didn't sit well with me. In the door, I nailed the rivets from the inside-out so that the smooth side would be next to my hand when it was time to load. In order to dress up the rivets with chrome screw caps (found at motorcycle or auto shops), I put silicone on them. The caps fit perfectly onto Schedule 40 6" PVC pipe with only a little extra wiggle room. In order to make sure that the caps fit snugly, I wrapped a strip of 1/2" duct tape around the pipe about twice before I screwed in the rivets. There is a thin silicone bead attached around the edge, which makes it water-resistant A tight fit. A neat square is molded into the sides of each cap for you to add your Writing the number on the back of my license was done using an old electric etching tool. The theft deterrent effect of that is hoped for. The following equation is what I used

I could have used around 7' 8" for pipe and four rod/reels staggered in each end of the 10" PVC pipe. The longest rods are 7", so I would suggest staggered rods by four. I can now stow four more reels backward for a snug total of eight reels with the extra length. As a final note I thought about making a rod holder out of outdoor-tough materials The wood and the hardware should be rated. By comparing the cost of the two solutions, I found that this solution was only about 10% to 20% more costly, more weather resistant, and a whole lot easier to install.

My pvc pipe had to be stacked on top of the cargo basket on top of which was mounted my pvc pipe. The length of the U-shaped curve needed to be extended in order to accommodate this You can make U-bolts by buying a threaded rod, cutting it to 8 pieces of 3" long, filing the lengths with a metal file, and then threading it The threaded pole was just cut to 3". Be sure to bolt it to the newly cut To connect the u-shaped bracket, there is also a metal bracket Neither the bolts nor the mending plates were long enough, so I purchased four 10" stainless steel mending plates and enlarged the holes to fit the 3/8 threaded rod. In this case I used schedule 35 pipe and made it work, but schedule 40 or even 80 would have been All purpose silicone was used to fill the gap between the pipe and cap so that all contents would stay Despite taking much longer than expected including using the tools I already owned, I was able to finish this project on my own. The final product is exactly what I wanted.

It doesn't seem to be that great. After a few months, the latch spring that holds the lid closed broke. It is a spring-loaded plastic and metal mechanism of some kind. Rather than a combo lock, a heavy twist tie seems to work well for me since I'm in and out of it all day long. I think the lock nuts hold the thing together well, but they are difficult to put on. (You don't want the nuts to fall Wouldn't wing nuts It's a good idea to shop around for a I was only able to buy 20 feet at the plumbing supply store I went to. Amount of length. Nevertheless, these caps look like very nice products, and the latch is a clever design. There seems to be a good connection between the caps and the set screws. My jaw dropped when I saw it!.
