Hi List!
    I obtained an original Boot Luggage Rack for my TR4/A. I would like 
to mount it so no harm is done to the bodies paint. This rack mounts 
with mounting plates that go under the Boot's Hinges & behind the 
license plate holes. I was thinking of using a bicycle inner tube to go 
under the the mounting plates because of the thin rubber protection, but 
I'm stumped  about the force being placed on the license plate holes & 
what would be best to protect the holes from becoming oval & not do any 
harm to the paint. I've already downloaded Justin Wagner's plans for the 
bracket supports & have them made, but haven't done any mounting.
    Therefore, I'm asking the list of people who have mounted this rack 
to their TR4's or TR4/A's:
What precautions did they do to protect the paint?    TIA,
-Cosmo Kramer
