m If your rack is 29 to 36 inches deep, combine the shorter extender with a three-hole lip at
the one end (item C in the illustration below) and the longest piece (with no lip; item D
in the illustration), using the solid bar (item E in the illustration). This combination
creates an extender long enough to reach the rear of a deep rack.
For a rack exactly 29 inches deep, try the A and B combination of bracket and extender; if
that does not fit, use the A, C, D, and E combination.
