Thanks for confirming that for me mjk164. I tried all four tel.nos. 0208 853 3343, 08712 884480, 0844 847 9999, and 0871 2887666 this morning. The only response I received was on the 0208 853 3343 number inviting me to leave a message, which I did, but no response yet. You must have a "hotline" to them. I'll try again in the morning and send them an email through their website.
I've managed to remove the complete rack this afternoon but haven't yet examined it thoroughly as by then the light was fading. The two metal pipes are quite corroded but nothing immediately obvious.
Strange that the unions on one end of the pipes are 10mms. across the flats but the other ends of each pipe are 11mms. and 12mms.
Also strange, the two long bolts which secure the rack to the front crossmember, the bolt head on the offside is 13mms. but the one on the nearside is 12mms. The nuts on each bolt are 15mms. They took some shifting but they have been there for 25 years.
