I have done something very similar, though I have a smaller car and so have to take the seat out to use it. But the clamp hardly matters, they all work reasonably well. -- David L.

The most inexpensive pre-fab ones I found were XSPORT from Performance bike. I have used them about 8 months with no complaints. Matthew |

However, I used a pair of Bike Tight clamps for ten years, holding a pair of recumbents in the back of a pickup truck. They never failed. http://www.biketight.com/ Jeff |

You can get them on sale for about $10/ea. Since they all do the same thing, why spend more than you have to? Mike |
