No one seems to want to part with the clamp pieces that hold the tire rack to the cross bar and if they do the price is more than I want to spend. So today with $20 worth of stuff from the local hardware store I made my own.

looks good!

what part of it did you make, as some parts appear to be castings?

The part that the bolts pass through. I have four of the cast parts but no clamps.
Casting something like that is above my skill level.
