Luggage Rack RK Saloon Chummy

Hi Does anyone have a dimension-ed drawing of a luggage rack and fitment for a RK Saloon or Chummy. I need to carry a wheelchair or the car has to go.

Thank you Happy New Year

Re: Luggage Rack RK Saloon Chummy

Willie McKenzie does racks. He took the dimensions from my car which has an original labelled the MIDGET. It would need to be a very lightweight wheelchair on this type of rack, and it would be best to make sure that it is supported from the chassis, not just the underneath of the body.

Location: just north of Cambridge

Re: Luggage Rack RK Saloon Chummy

I have an original Midget rack on my Chummy but as Robert suggests it would not be strong enough as originally attached.

I have two SWB cars with tow bars that go all the way back to the chassis - I can post photos in the new year if you are interested. I wonder if this, along with a small lightweight trailer, may be the way for you to go?

I also have a tow bracket that clamps to the rear axle - this is a pretty clever design and may be of interest to you also.

Hi Bob. My brother, based in West Sussex, has a robust luggage rack on his RK - hiding under on of my trunks in the photo - and I'm sure would be happy for you to measure it up if nothing more local turns up.
