Default Anyone want a fuel rack for Hunsaker jugs?

Hi there, I'm in the process of getting a couple custom fuel racks made for my Trailex bolt-together trailer. Pit Pal has never worked with a hunsaker jug design, so I had to ship a jug to them. Would be a good time to make a couple more for that rare someone with the same setup.

Would look something like below, but slightly larger for the 12x12 hunsaker jugs, and with a locking bar in a different location. These bolt directly onto a Trailex (only needs bolts).

PM me if you are interested. I have probably a week to let them know before they start fabbing it.

Installed. A bit trickier than I thought - you have to take apart the trailer to get more t-bolts into the rails. Trail-ex sent me a bunch of extra bolts and nuts FOR FREE..nice guys.

The holders look good! Are they far enough forward to clear the car doors?

I think it should clear, but it will be very close. I have another option for mounting where the spare tire is.

Are you planning on making any more? Barring that what is the rack you were showing in your first picture above? I can't seem to find it!
