thanks Everett, I had already seen those. this rack seems to be wider than a bug, so im guessing its not for a beetle. the search continues _________________ dont hold your farts in they go up your spine into your brain and thats where shity ideas come from |

If your not going to give up the dimensions of it, then it is pretty hard to tell you what it fits. _________________ ( ⫏ ⫐ )

that one is defiantly wider then the Eckel i have.
Mine is for a Beetle. A pic of it can be seen in one of the threads Everett posted
mine is aprox:
33 3/4 inches long from the inside of the front cup to the inside of the rear cup
its 30 1/2 inches wide from the inside of the left cup to the inside of the right cup
as for height clearance its about 4 inches from the bottom of the cup to the bottom of the rack _________________ www.56panel.com
