I swapped the grab handles from one side to the other and inverted them so that they form a sort of exhaust can crash bar which also pushes the panniers outwards at the top and allows them to hang vertically. The Oxford Sports Lifetime Panniers have enough weight and aerodynamics to stop them flapping even when empty at 80mph+ (on the way to my local(10Kms) shop). They are capacious enough to carry a full weeks shopping (inc. several bottles of ).

The small ally brackets simply turn the 45 degree angle on the Renntec mounts to 90 degrees ( I did not want to weaken the sports rack by bending) and slip under the hex grab handle screws with friction. I used some surplus corner brackets from a kitchen unit fitting kit. (you have to be inventive on a pension)
