The little tie bars are common marine hardware. I've also found them at a
variety of hardware stores.
You may have to drill out the slotted head screws but I'd try an impact
wrench or a hand held impact knocker before I started drilling.

Subject: luggage rack

I am trying to take of the front luggage rack on my 85 westy but have run
into two problem bolts. The two on the front I cannot budge. I have sprayed
with liquid wrench but no go has anybody else had this problem with a
successful solution? I will want to replace the little cargo holds that are
on the rack and am wondering if any body sells them?Thanks Patrick 85
