Just wondering if anyone has any old Roof Rails lying around off a D1 that they don't want, as looking at an idea of making a separate set of rails to extend the ones I have to make a full length version, so ideally I need two sets to weld them together in a mad scientist way to bolt onto the roof!

Idea is something like this.....

and then I can use the bars across and remove them like the front ones.

Am based near Bath/Bristol if anyone is local I can pick up....

Cheers

er, dunno... £15 sound alright?
I won't have much time to get the ones off the parts disco, but if you're happy to un spanner them (the second set - I've got the full set in the workshop already) then I'll do it with you

You can, but I'm driving up to see family up in london tomorrow for the weekend!
I'm more than happy for you to come and take them though if you want them this weekend, though it's always really nice to meet LZ'rs in person!
I'll be back sunday night, but no probs if you wanna grab them tomorrow. I'm around weeknights (bit of a drive in the evening though) or next weekend, and then I could be helpful.. well, my version of helpful

its up to you - if its safe to leave the loose ones somewhere and you are ok for me to remove the others when you are not there that would be great, as this sat would be ideal for me.

Can leave the readies in a safe place for you too
