I am willing to take pics of my rack if some skilled person wants to replicate it. It seems a really simple design.

If you could.

Bit of pipe bending, a bit of welding and bam. Roof Rack.

[minisilverbullet]

Mini is aluminium but could easily be steel. It is made in two halfs which slide together. Basically it is one outer ring (square) with metal ribs running parallel. should be dead easy to do, if you can fabricate and weld.....

It clamps to the roof using adjustable clamps, I have locked mine in place with a nut and bolt.

I bought it bare and added the wooden slats.

To te lad that made the first rack from copper pipe is it 15mm ,1/2 inch or 20mm, 3/4" ? Just wondering for size of steel to look for

[Noah]

I wouldn't make it from copper to be honest, copper isn't massively strong in thin pipe form....

[joeyfinneran]

Oh i wont be making it from copper was just wondering on the size as thats looks about the right size
