Another Lobo Shelf
3
I followed the mod posted elsewhere for trimming the shelf, then hung it with 4 spring links (1/4"). It was snug and didn't rattle, but hard to snap in and out and had very little room for stuff. Back to HD and bought some 3/16" Quick Links to add at each attachment point. Made more room for stuff, but rattled and the shelf wobbled. Back to HD and bought 4 5/16" spring links. Easier to snap in and out, more room for stuff, but rattled. Removed links and the mounts from the X and dipped them in Plasti-Dip. Let 'em dry and reinstalled: no more rattling. I may experiment with adding the Quick Links to see if the extra room it creates is worth the swinging and rattling. Some Plasti-Dip will probably cut down on the noise. If I were to start this mod over again, I would only trim only three, not four of the wires off the ends of the shelf (rear end), as described by eXTra fORt in this post: http://thenewx.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=125&highlight=lobo

Yep, sucker Rattles allot.. Getting annoying real fast.
I Went bought some plastic pvc Clear tubing 3/8 Id X 1/2 O.D. cut just enough, to fit over the Caribeners. One for the rack, the other for the hook. Do that to all 4 points.
Sure made a big differance in rattling. Will run that for few weeks.. Then Will adapt..Or remove shelf.
had to share that tip. on the tubing for adding a damper to the rattle.
