Great idea. I've got one of Norm's baskets too. If anyone wants a basket Norm's the man. I can give no higher recommendation for all his products. Anyway how did you attach the holder to the basket? Got any pics? Also do you have the scan of the original Northwind jeep? Have you filled it with water? If so does it unbalance the basket? Thanks for resurecting a great idea.

i dont have the book...but i saw it in walden's book store....

my 44 dated can leaks....so its empty...strictly for display.....

but the 30lbs or so..of water wouldnt cause u any problems.....

ill post some pics too...for u....

i just used a bolt long enuf to pass thru the basket....and used a bracket to hold them together.....another restorer made up the brackets..but....im sure a home depot could offer u something.....

oh....i ran the canvas strap up and over the top bar of the basket......

this way...the whole thing is secure and doesnt budge at all....
