Can someone tell me the diameter of the metal wire/rod used in this rear carrier? Pic of rack/carrier below.
I am going to guess the 2 outside rails are 1/4 or 5/16 rod and the inner is 3/16 or 7/32? I am going to make one and trying to copy the original as best as I can.
I am a hobby welder and have both a gas mig and oxy acetylene torch set up. Get metal hot enough and it will bend like spaghetti.
The only issue will be finish. My powder coat oven may not be big enough so I may just do an aged and weathered silver paint scheme. My typhoon is a daily rider. Nothing special.
Thank you.
