Series 2 Roof bars for a 88" hardtop

EWG · Jun 12, 2016

Has anybody got any recommendations as to the type of roof bars I should buy to fit the hardtop on my 1962 2a, please?

I need to carry ladders with my 2a because my daily use pick up needs gearbox work and will be off the road for a while.
Will an universal pair of adjustable roof bars fit or what can you recommend?

Thank you.

The old style defender/disco roof bars fit the hard top ok. I got a pair for £40 from an independent / scrap landy garage. The side fixing's just clamp with an Allan key . They come off really easily.

Thank you very much.
I didn't know they fitted. In fact I have a pair of roof bars from a Discovery 2 here somewhere which I had forgotten about.
I'll try those.

They need a rubber cushioning strip in between the clamp but that should be easy to source, any decent offcut of thin rubber should do it.
