ned25 · Nov 30, 2009

hi, does anyone know of any other vechile roof rack fitting a 110? ive been looking at genuine 110 racks but they all seem to be out of my budget. i have stumbled over some transit ones that seem reasonible and was thinking of welding the mounting brackets to make fit has anyone seen this done or done it?
cheers in advance neil

Those things weigh a metric ****tonne, and will make your 110 more unstable with all that weight on the roof. Wouldn't be surprised if you lost some fuel economy too. I wouldn't bother mate unless you really need one.

if its on then no doubt ill use it for something......

yup got a HD brownchurch extended one, which is about as heavy as it gets and it doesnt effect economy, just makes it whistle a bit above 60. thing that makes the differance is me tyres

I've got 3 bars, which I use for carrying ladders and timber. When I need to carry other stuff, I've got a sheet of 1" Marine ply which bolts on to form a flat platform.
The 3 bars were about £180 from First Four.

My 110 is stable with a full length galvanised and checkerplate all over. I got the spare up there as well and usually pick the odd pallet up for firewood and sling that on as well.
Got soft springs on the front off a Disco 1 as well and it rides loverly.
Not goin to mention the fuel as it's a V8 but not using any more even on a run as long as I keep to my usual sixty or less.

Fair enough, it's just when I had a galv roof rack on my previous 110, I could definitely feel the difference in performance and motorway handling. That thing was a 19j though

Point is, I wouldn't stick a heavy roof rack on if you're not going to use it, would you?
