Jim,
The top pictures are from the Flaming River website. When I called them, they told me the way to identify their racks is to look for the words "Flaming River" cast into a pad on the drivers side near the top. If you look at the picture you can see the flat they refer to. They also told me all their center tubes are chromed. My friend's is not, and is rusting. Your rack is different than my friend's, but does not have the name cast in. According to what F. R. told me, you don't have a F.R. rack either. How did your u-joint fit on it? Is there any play with the set screw loose? did you specify a Flaming River unit?
He is not convinced I am correct about his rack not being an F.R. unit, so he has not asked them for a replacement yet.
Here is Cowtown Dave's rack. He has the F.R. unit.
Mark,
Can you post a photo of yours?
Trularin,
Can you post a picture also?
Thanks!
Steven
