Guys,
I have a full length Hannibal roof rack on my 110. Problem I’ve got is finding load restraining straps with a hook gape of 25+mm.
Anything smaller won’t fit around the bars and so far I’m buggered if I can find any.
Anyone got said straps with such a gape and if so please, where did you get them from?

Hi

One thought , when I had issues was using a S HD hook which allowed me to use a bigger range of rachet straps

Or look for cargo lorry straps but they tend to have extremely wide webbing

Or even some of the Karibiner have a very good kg rating

Hope that helps

CBF commercial body fittings, they have a digi catalogue, some interesting gear in there.

My personal preference is for endless ratchet straps or cam buckle straps on the roof rack. Or a regular ratchet with the hooks linked together and not to the roof rack.
How big’s a ratchet? Slightly bigger than a mouse shit.
