Will an ARB 110 roof-rack fit the Disco?

[BigA]

as per the title, will this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220641792476&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT fit a Discovery 300 TDI?

The length may be a bit of an issue, but i am more concerned about the roof height clearance?

Cheers

will be ok on roof clearance but yer will be to long

[landroverkeith]

judging by that pic I dont think it will be too long?

its not the complete length of the roof on that 110 is it

[BigA]

i must admit, by the picture it looks ok on length, but its supposedly 230 cm long, and that it pushing it a tad on the disco roof length?

[landroverkeith]

Just been out and measured my Rack Andy and its 230cm from front to back so the over hang is next to nothing so i guess it just depends on where the mounting legs are placed  :D

Infact its a bit Bigger than 230cm

There's a bit of space away from the ends so i reckon it will fit ok

[BigA]

if it's too long i guess i could always introduce it to the grinder  :D

[Frankie-Boy]

It'll be fine.

What about the width?

[BigA]

As far as i am aware, the disco is slightly wider than a defender (90/110) but the brackets can be squeezed out a bit to fit.

I missed it in the end anyway, so not such an issue now, until the next one.

I ask because my mate bought a Defender roof rack and all the mounts had to be repositioned, it's about an inch either side.

[BigA]

Hmmm an inch, thats a fair about of adjusting?

[Range Rover Blues]

Well as a guestimate, look how much Defender wheels stick out form the bodywork compared to how far under Standard Disco wheels would be, the axles are the same width so the difference is the body.

It's my Disco RRB is talking about and the legs refused to bend far enough without a cut, then it left huge gaps to be welded back up, so in the end the legs were bolted to the outside of the frame which made it just about millimeter perfect width.

The rack is made of 3/4" box section so the disco would be 1.5" smaller overall.

Mine was the full length of a 110 defender so also needed a section chopping out of the middle or it just looked plain stupid.

So now it looks....................

Perfect  :twisted:

Or it will when it's 100% finished instead of 85%
