Hi,

Tried a search but did not turn up any results. Does anyone know what size and thread the bolts are that secure the roof rails? Any idea where I might be able to buy some?

Thanks in advance.

I believe you can get them from your Land Rover Dealer

Or if you look in Microcat you can find the part number, google it and buy from an online supplier.

online microcat here ... http://lrparts.ru/engl/
or download from a members site here... http://www.myrangerover.co.uk/MyRangeRover/Software.html ... - .- -.

Oh dear. 

hi mate,

just had a look on my version of microcat and all i could find regarding the roof rails was the actual kit, it does not list the bolts individually....sorry.

Hi csjxx

Have a look through this old post...

Hope this helps

In the link delamo provides, Dan gives you a pn for the mounting hardware for the crossbars (w/o roof rails). The hardware for the rails might be longer/shorter. If a dealer can't help quickly and inexpensively, I'd just get standard bolts in the appropriate length if I were you. They should protrude about 1" through the rails and are standard 8mm IIRC. I'll check on my safari rack a little later just to make sure.

so its obvious you dont have a 'man drawer' with essentials like flat aaa batterys and french franks..this drawer is where the bolts would be residing.....  ... - .- -.

Of course - I searched everywhere for them - including my 'man drawer' , but sadly - no bolts!...

...I also went to LR Parts - but they no longer sell the fixing kit separately...

...so I sold the bars to csjxx (after explaining that the bolts were lost)...





...sorry csjxx!, I hoped you would obtain some bolts without too much trouble

(The point of me posting a link to the old thread was...hopefully you will be able to match some to those shown on the pictures which Dan provided)

It cant be that hard... Drive to a hardware shop (not B&Q!) and buy a handful of bolts of varying sizes, go back to the car, find out which one screws into the hole, go back to the shop and buy 4 of them.

Joe90 used M8 threaded rod for his "roof rack"

I assume this is what the bars fasten to???

M8 bolts or threaded rod could easily be purchased from a hardware store.

Its ok delamo, I bought these knowing that i needed fasteners.

Anyway, I tried Land Rover with the part no. and the fasteners have been discontinued and only available complete with roof rails! £150+!

In the end I just bought four M8 SS 45mm Allen Screws, washers and locking washers. Total came to £6 using a online company. I couldn't be bothered going round the shops looking for them.

The fit perfect, shame there not as secure as originals but will just remove when not using.

You can also use a light Loctite threadlock compound to secure the bolts and prevent them from coming out. That way you can leave the rails on the roof. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
