Hi,

In preparation for a trip I noticied that one of our BMW Vario panniers has a broken bracket. I think it could be fixed by bending a piece of metal to shape and screwing it on the pannier (above the bracket, using washers with rubber to keep the pannier waterproof). However, I don't have the tools to do so myself. Do you know someone who would be able to do this job?

Broken Vario pannier


Thanks,

Buy some of those metal multi-purpose fasteners from Builders/Mica (like corner pieces in different sizes with pre-drilled holes, and straight pieces with holes etc).  Bend it to shape in a vise, and rivet and glue (pratleys quickset) it into place.
