<<I just installed a Paulchen bike rack system on my '81 vanagon.
Unfortunately, the place I ordered it from did not carry the locks to
secure the rack to the vehicle.  What exactly are these locks?  Has anyone
come up with an alternative way to lock the rack to the vehicle or know of
an alternative source of similar locking mechanisms?   Thanks much for the
help!

John,

I carry the Paulchen racks and can order the locks.  The Pauchen lock comes
with a special hold down knob that is notched for the lock to fit into it.
The lock is $29.95 and can be found at:
