[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 52187, member: 2433"] I have a "requires restoration" pair of Craven Silver Arrow panniers. What I cannot figure out is how the top mountings work. They clearly need to engage with 2 threaded roods/bolts and then be secured by wing nuts - (at the bottom, on the rear,[ATTACH]2483[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]2484[/ATTACH] is a Dzus fastner). My confusion is that the vertical part of the top mount is 2 1/2 inches away from the rear edge of the pannier, and that would mean then a 2 1/2 inch lever moment caused by the weight of the pannier pulling down on the upper mounts - and that does not seem to be to be correct. Can anyone explain how the top mounts are meant to work, or better still , provide some photo's that show it? What I really need to understand is the fitting from the pannier frame on the bike that engages with the pannier top lugs. [/QUOTE]
