Roof rack / Roof bars - Aluminium slats

[dyladams]

Hi All,

I am looking at installing a some roof bars to my 80 series instead of the backet type roof rack. I already have a front runner rack. I was thinking that I might be able to use the feet / brackets from the front runner and combine them with some aluminium bars / slats to make a kit.

Yes I can buy some origianl Front runner slats - But they are NOT cheap.

Anyone got any suggestions for alternatives?

Thanks

I drew up a roof rack from aluminium tube & used some profiled extrusions from Aalco's range of extrusions. It was something like the M101

Worked well
