Hi Dave,

How does this work? My MK4 rack has 5mm holes, the Mt Tura forks have 6mm bosses and bolts.

Ah right, that wont work! You could (at your own risk) run a drill through the holes, I cant remember how much meat is round them.  Or use longer M5 bolts with nuts.

Hi Dave,

Its not a problem in the near future as my mate is going to swap racks for our up coming trip (he has a Raven Tour). I will try the longer bolts and nuts.

Thanks
