Hi All

Being always frustrated with safely tying things to a roofrack and stop things sliding sideways I made these.
They also fit my jaguar roof bars, so I guess the aluminium extrusion Tee slots are fairly standard size.

I milled them square from coach bolts, then made a nylon spacer washer with a square hole to fit the bolt shank, then some M10 eyenuts. I believe you can get factory M6 ones, but look micky mouse weak, so something decently strong had to be made.

Now that is a great idea well executed.

Well done that man.

Nice job!

You must be 7' tall if you can reach the roof to put anything up there I have to get the step ladder out to wash and polish the roof.

Brilliant idea  2012 Westminster 4.4 TDV8

Like that

Thanks for your kind words. I am lucky I have a lathe and a milling machine and sometimes you get dragged along the fun of trying to do a nice engineering job.

But for DIY they could be made almost as well with an angle or bench grinder (or even a file.....!), take off a bit of the dome head, and put 2 or 4 flats on the edges. to make it 20-21mm. (its square to stop it unscrewing)
The nylon washer (square bore) could have a round bore, or be hard rubber, but its nicer square as it self centers.
Anybody got a 3D printer could add it to the LR forum shop!
M10 eye nuts off ebay @£1.49p each delivered. Stainless if you are posh.

As I mentioned, it also fits my Jag roof bars, so twice the use!

Got them on my aero bars, they make them as an accessory.
Very useful
