Roof Bar Brackets
I have a new to me 110 CSW and I am moving all my stuff from the D2 I had before. Now I have a roof rack but its cheapie and looks crap so wanted to just use the roof bars this time. But I am struggling to find ways to attach the various its to the bars. The best thing so far has been this,

But it's £9 each for the brackets, I will need at least 8 of them and that makes it rather expensive task. Any ideas of cheaper brackets?

Depending on what you're trying to attach, how about a combination of Quick Fists and hose clamps?

I have a LED amber beacon to attach, the best way to do this is 4 bolts and using 2 of the roof bars, leaving the last of them for mounting two rear facing work lights. Some where along that line I also have to look at mounting CB and Ham Radio antenna.

So I was looking at buying 9 clamps...at a tenner a piece its a fair bit of cash to spend. Quick fist clamps are not much better.

Maybe not as neat as those but Could you not make your own using some L brackets, or what about u bolts round the bars?

Well, I have received the brackets from Rhino...erm just a slight difference.



Finally worked out how to upload a pic, the damn thing was too large.

Have a look on the flatdog site, lots of bars, brackets and racks and sensible prices
