I am hoping to do a full how to type thingy at the end all in one post , I have taken more photos and have a list of everything needed including tools and tips .

I have kept to the mandate of building the rack using only basic tools (apart from the pipe bender) and have not bought anything special to do the job .

so far the hacksaw ,grinder , vice , peice of string (yes string  :lol: ) ,wirebrush and tape measure have done most of the work....along with the welder and bender of course  :D

bobtailed disco:
The tube you used.....
What was it??
you said you used 8 lengths of tube @ £3.60 (is that all the tube needed?? What lengths did it come in?? Size thickness?? Size?? etc. etc)
 
How did you mount the rack to the roof??

Cheers rob

lee celtic:
Electritions tubing you know the surface mounted stuff for factories.

3mtr lengths

this ones made from 20mm but the next one will be 25 mm as this is availiable too . :dance:

I bought 8 lenghts but I had two lengths (bits that made up to two) from the skip at work. :dance:

mounting it to the roof now theres a thing ....

I have a couple of ideas but need to finish the thing and get it onto the gutters to see which one will work best .

I will be wraping parts of the base rail with rubber tape ( self amalgamating ) this will stop slipage and stop vibration (it worked great with the old light bar.

then it will either be bolts through the uprights into L brakets or ali angle pop rivited (this is the one I prefer as it will be harder to nick it). :dance:

bobtailed disco:
Right no what i am looking out for now  :lol:
is that the galv stuff???

So you planning another 1 allreally lol (you havent even finished this ont yet lol)  :lol:

It really does look good cant w8 to see the full right up (so i can nick your ideas  :lol: )
