Have a look at Brownchurch roof racks, not strictly official LR product, but correct for the time period and absolutely bombproof.
Cheers
Yes Brownchurch for me too! I'm looking at a new one for my 90 with the 500mm extension that goes out the front! Be great for the extension ladders and all the ropes etc for work! I just need to find out if the roof tent we're looking at will be compatible! They're all galvanised too, so no maintenance whatsoever!

I’m looking for an extended 110 rack, they’re like rocking horse sh!t (2nd hand at least). I think I’m going to have to just cut one of the horizontals off the front of the cage to allow for my longer ladders. Sacrilege!
I'm trying to work out if this is an original, a copy or just another firm's model? It doesn't have longitudinal bars, but it could be an older rack like my tratter? I could still open the sunroof, but I'd probs get a welder to modify it my neck of the woods, but just wondering if anyone knows who made it if it's and OEM copy? Cheers
This is what appears to be the new OEM genuine one

I’d avoid any that don’t have lengthways supports.
D'ya wreckon a good welder could put some lengthways ones on?

Yes. Do you know if the frame is galvanised underneath the powder coating? Quite important that it is.
No, it's no galvanised.

My advice would be to avoid it then, powder coating onto bare steel is asking for trouble, especially for a roof rack. There are very similar designs out there that are galvanised and have the extra supports, but they undoubtedly cost more too.
Good idea that. I'll nab one up the fells t'morn from a field with nowt in it :0)Tratter roof racks... The bigger the betterer. Nick an old farm gate and stick it ont roof.
Hiya. Is this one? If it is and you're going to bid for it, let me know and I'll remove the link (give you a better chance of winning :0)

Not that one, but thanks for the thought!
I'm searching a lot for roof racks at moment. I'll let you know if I see any others
