Dan,
Many thanks for these suggestions but I've pretty much decided to go for some sort of rack to hold a suitcase rather than a rucksack hanging on the spare wheel. With the J2, the spare wheel is effectively slung on the fuel tank and I'd prefer not to add any more weight to that.
But more generally, I was browsing Malcolm Green's book on the four cylinder MMM Road Cars last night and in it there is a copy of a full page advertisement for Derrington accessories which shows a rack for the J2 not unlike those currently available but with a few significant differences, namely that the uprights that support the rack are secured to the rack with wing nuts, the rack itself has no retaining upright frame at the front, i.e. next to the body, and the rack seems to be on a hinged bracket at the front rather than directly bolted to the bodywork. It would therefore clearly be possible to undo the wing nuts and swing the rack upwards to get at the spare wheel.
However I gather there is also a variant that bolts to the chassis and carries the luggage to the rear of the spare wheel and I'm following up on that as well. |
