dixe Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I have been trying to find a roof rack for my 109 but I have not been successful. Has any body ever made one for them selves and do they have any advice about this for me. Dixe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ3120 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Dixe, obviously you have tried the mags? think they are about £180 I did adapt a RRC one for my old series 3, all i had to do was extend the legs Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8bertha Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Never made one, but modified one from an old Shogun so that it fit my Rangie. Complete bodge, but with a lick of B&Q's best quality gloss paint, it didn't look half bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Don't bother making a full sized one unless you have a lot of time and patience, it is a PITA! I had a half hearted attempt a number of years ago and gave up. Brownchurch do good galvanised ones. For a working roof rack get a galvanised one and forget anything with a plastic coating as it will chip and be coming off in sheets after six months once there is water under it. Plastic coated ones may look good on the G4 Challenge but they are a waste of time in the real world IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 They do come up quite regularly, IIRC a paid £85 for my 110 HD galv brownchurch one which is identical to 109... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streaky Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 A friend of mine in Saudi used to make roof racks for Disco's and Rangies. The first one was the biggest pain and afterwards he made a jig to make copies to the same dimensions. Here's mine on the Disco and my awning which I made myself from 30mm sq aluminium. You could probably do the same with 30mm diameter electrical conduit pipe. Mine in galved plumbing pipe! Unless you're a dab hand with the welder and a pipe bender, you might find it less frustrating to buy a roofrack thats already made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
