Yes Cider, I live in Grange, have lived here about three years after moving up from Manchester for work as a guitar teacher, so yes very much a fender fan.
Snowbeard, the rack came from Cand D a few years ago, actually for the earlier a series with the lifting handle bracketry, ie before the arrow head mudguard mounts (if that makes sense).
I have heard they stopped suplying them after some quality issues, not sure if thats true. Personally I'd be tempted to make my own a bit of copper pipe and some 90 degree elbows and half a day with a blow torch should see you right, and you can make it as big or small as you like!
Thanks LJ you all seem like a friendly bunch
