I believe the legs will need bending out to mate with the disco gutter.

Also check incase its one that follows the defender roofline closely, it might not fit on the rear of a disco.

Agreed, did it myself about an inch of bend on the legs, need some good gas heating gear, depending on the make of rack, mine was a galvanised square box, so the heating up made it easier

Also if you have roof bars they may have to be removed to keep the height down
