Trying to identify missing parts from bike rack

[CarolynCo]

We bought a Fiat Ducato based Campervan with an incomplete bike rack, as per the attached image.
Can anyone help me identify the make of bike rack or where I might be able to buy compatible parts to complete so we can carry two bikes.
Thanks

It looks like a Thule to me. We had one on our old Hymer. I have a link somewhere for a place that does spares.

Cheers

Found this but I was thinking of Rose Awnings who are on the web but might be better ringing them. Thule Omnibike is what you’re after.

The best thing to do is throw it away and put one on your towbar and it will save you damaging your door or hinges as the weight of two bikes on there will do damage.

Dead right. Never noticed the tow bar.

It's probably way cheaper as well lolol

 

[CarolynCo]

Thanks for all the advice re spares and toe bar options. I will explore both.

I'd go tow bar too but that leaves the door with holes to fill.

Better that damaging the door I would think.

Door already damaged, used hinges not silly money, I'd deffo look at the cost of the bits required.

We had a Stratford and I put a rack on the back and used a Fiamma bag for loads of extras that we didn't want inside such a small van. During the first holiday the hinges had worn BUT because the door then 'moved' the seals were also worn through where the door had chaffed them. That is besides the constant squeak. AND that is all in a 5 week holiday to Romania. New seals cost more than the hinges. The doors really are not suitable for anything more than 20Kg.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Yes the seals are stupidly expensive some over £100 each.

I wouldn't dream of putting a bike rack on my doors.

I've just removed a similar one (Fiamma) from my van and parts may fit yours if you're not yet sorted. If interested I'll get out of shed and photograph.

Photos of bike rack. I think it's just a shorter version of yours??

 

[CarolynCo]

I am grateful to you Yashmac - whereabouts are you?

So we have been looking at the images you kindly sent. You definitely have some components that we do not have! How did you actually mount the bikes onto the lateral spars? They do not seem to be long enough to take the full width of a bike? Am I misunderstanding something? Thank you

they only need to catch the bottom of the wheel not the whole thing
