Cheers thanks for the comments Guys  :D

I'm not sure about making roofracks , It was a one off for myself really and I think if I were to make them they would cost a fortune because I'd have to have the electric heater full all the time IT'S BLOOMING FREEZING in my garage  :(

here are a few more pics taken in the light , I think it looks even better  :D stands out well against the silver.

as for the rivets I would rather loose the rack than rip the roof off  :lol: :lol: :lol: though I am going to pull test a 5mm rivet through 7075 5mm thick into steel tube at work tomorrow  :D we have several pull testers that will pull up to 10 tonnes  :dance: I will post results just out of interest myself....

Anybody want a sneeky peek ??   :lol: :lol:

Well seeing as you asked so nice  ;)

Please remember this is my first go at this and this is only the plug for the mould the end product will be made of fibreglass...But I have tried it on the car and it looks

I've done a lot of reading and watching of vids on youtube and I think I can do it  [-o<





Anybody remember the bit in close incounters with the mash potato  :lol: :lol: :lol:

now I am sanding and coating and sanding and coating and sanding and coating until it's super smooth as I have read that the finished product is only as good and the plug for the mould... :D

Lee,
Just going back to the roofrack for a mo, am I right in saying you only used about 30 metres of tube??? You bought 8, 'found' 2 and they were only 3 metre lengths???

Light pod looks great BTW!!!!

Cheers

Yeh...well ish...

the rack is approx 2.5mts (ish) long and 1.5 (ish) wide plus legs and a few short off cuts and a couple of bits joined so yeh 30 mts. didn't do a cutting plan though just thought it through as I went along getting the most from the tube...and I did estimate that the found bit's was two lengths (it was in a few bits) :lol:

sounds a lot dosn't it  :-k  :lol:

[lee celtic]

You can never have too many lights  :lol: :lol: :lol:

The only reason I want to make one is I would rather spend £85 - £185 depending on who you buy one from ,On making the mould and producing my own with the option for spares for the price of the fibre glass...

plus this is the practice for making wide arches.. if I make my own moulds I can make my own spares for them too :dance:

I also fancy doing a centre consol with a descent radio slot
