I have been trying to find the cheapest way of doing. So I have been collecting bits and bobs.

Please see the photos below.

The materials used where;

- my existing bait tray
- 16mm clothes rail
- 12mm pipe clips
- M10 Bolt, nut and washer
- Epoxy glue

The only thing I am concerned about is the glue so I used loads to create a protective layer.

The only thing that cost me money was the m10 bolts that were £1.50 for 10
where you in the a-team by any chance :?: :lol: :lol:


No what makes you say that lol, My xbox 360 got the 3 red lights of doom so I have alot of free time.
id say if you locked yourself in the shed over the weekend with some string ,clothes pegs an old calculator and a fireguard you wuold make yourself a new x-box, the humpalumpa looks well by the way 8)

Got the xbox back on saturday so I am back in business.

Just a quick update on the mods to the humpalumpa. I brought it out the friday night to cushendun, and i was right the glue didnt hold to any twist at all, So I went to harry's and bought a bank stick
I used the hacksaw to removed to end and shaved down the pipe clip end to fit inside the tube, I sliced down the hole for a wall plug to be inserted and screwed the pipe clip into the bank stick.
I wish I had done that at the start instead of all that messing about. lol
I will see how she performs at the weekend maybe if Im allowed out

I got out and tried it out and its great. the ease at which you pack up is great and i just dump into the back of the car afterwards. I decided I am going to make a rig holder for it as well lol.
