It is high time these were finished!

I'm finally getting around to attaching the hanging apparatus to the panniers!  Installation was delayed because the racks were needed in order to determine the exact placement of the hooks.  

Aluminum strips will be the strong stiff anchor the hooks will be bolted to.  

Leather will surround the aluminum and secure it to the back of the pannier.  
Part of the leather strip will wrap around the aluminum rods inserted in the seams to help distribute the weight to stronger parts of the bag.
The hooks themselves need to be made, but everything else is ready.  This is the last step in making the panniers...
