Some work got done today on the rack....
I think this should be a very skookum rack
Now a question, do you think I should put a 3rd strut on the rack...?

I guess it would just make everything more balanced and it certainly cannot hurt with the strength of the rack and hitch....???
I will put a "Pannier Rail" on each side of the rack....
This will let me put the panniers on and have enough heel clearance as well as keep the panniers lower to the ground for better stability.
On to mounting the hitch...........
