Roof bars

JimE · 13-06-2013, 08:50

I need some roof bars to stick my roof box on as going camping in a couple of weeks, I don't have any rails, anyone got a cheap set of bars or can recommend somewhere to buy a set that fit directly to the vehicle without rails? I don't want to pay a fortune for them as will only get used once twice a year.

And they fill fit a Mav without roof rails? How much for a pair of them, delivered to Tavistock?

Not knowing much about roof bars, I think these are the ones I need, can anyone confirm before I order them or go get them. Nearest store is about 15 mile away.

Did the bars from Machine Mart fit Jim?

If so, are you happy with them?

Ideal if you have roof rails and a good price.

I originally bought roof bars, fouled the doors and made hell of a noise at speed

.

Got rails from CNCFABS last year I think, fitting was fun, always wanted a rivnut kit, made life easy
