Lightweight Ali roofrack

Wheelie · 11-09-2017, 21:26

Hi gents
I have 2 Ali roof racks I need to get rid of, 1 is new and I've only put it together then decided it was too small for the trol, it was actually sent out wrong should have been the xl but they sent the large by mistake. I have used the roof bars for my lights. This would probably suit a terrano, then I have the xl which I had on the trol with my zombie lights on, but a height barrier must have moved as I drove under it and caught the lights and pulled the fixings through, this does not affect the rack in any shape or form just 4 holes with little tears in the Ali at the front. If I can't get rid of them I will scrap the Ali but it seems such a waste.
If your really nice I might give them away

Don't suppose you have any pictures? and/or dimensions. I think I would like a full length one for my T2, but not put a lot of thought into it yet, and not sure if the roof box would still go on it.

I'd be interested in this depending on design, Does it need roofrails or can I attack the roof directly with rivnuts?
What is the relevance of it being lightweight?

This is the item, i have 1 XL used with either fixings for roof rails or standard gutter roof bars. The other is new (large) other than being put together and taken apart again with the same choice of fixing.

Pity so far away, any idea on postage?

Hadn't thought about posting assumed collection or meet but you are a bit far away for that

Relay team?

Lazy-Ferret · 12-09-2017, 22:17

Shame, that is very nice, but not long enough for what I want to do. My roof box is 2300mm long, so would not fit.

Banshee · 13-09-2017, 14:46

Hmmmmm, I'd be interested in one mate

Will pay postage no problem

Wheelie · 14-09-2017, 19:19

So, let me get this straight , banshee, you would like one? And Thomas you would like one? i am thinking of going to the overland show at Stratford racecourse on the 24th September which I assume is not far from you banshee!
I could bring them up with me and you could fight amongst yourselves who has what. Then you could arrange with Thomas for him to collect. What are your thoughts guys
