Hi, has anyone tried to fit the longer roof rails from the mk2 to a mk1?

I'm wondering if the mounting feet have the same pattern and the rear most support on the longer rails just rests on the roof.

It fixes at all three points. See Topix : https://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/content/document/view?id=60428&groupId=1668 for accessory fitting instructions (part is LR006608V3)

EDIT: Also doubt the centre-to-centre on the first and second fixing points matches the FL1.

You might find some inspiration here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/3door-roof-rails-on-5-door.244474/

EDIT: And have you looked at the Brownchurch 91 for Freelander?

Thanks nodosh - I've seen those brownchurch racks and they're under consideration, the only problem being that I travel with a half width roof box & surfboards, so may need customising. I like the way they bolt onto the roof mounting points without the need for rails.

The longer roof rails would be ideal though.
