Roof racks

Post by 1983wagon » Thu Aug 29, 2013 4:30 pm

What roof racks are people putting on there MY,s. REccomend any? Also do the L series racks fit on the MY? Just incase I see some at the wreckers? Considering a basket to sit on top for trips to the river.

Racked ...

Mine are what it came with originally, the one's that screwed on top that is ( see sig ) I suspect they are after market though.

No the L's are too big for the MY + gutter mount is different. ... ;)

You would have to shop around, as there's not much about these days ... :(

Cheers, Bantum ...

Yeah don't want to be putting holes in my roof for that type of rack. Would like the basic rola looking 2 bars rack! I'm starting to find out how hard these parts are to find for the MY. Frustrating!!! Bantum Is the chrome bumper and tail light surrounds on ur MY stock? I thought we only had the plastic bumpers? Wouldn't mind the tail lights. And the Rear Venetian might I add. Looks awesome!

I found these but not sure if they will work with the touring wagon raised roof. I don't think so :/

Yep - it's all original on the Leone Series II first release model ( 1982 ) + it had them on the front as well, but mine has been replaced by the roo bar obviously ... :)

P.S. - You may also note that the wing mirrors are different too !

There was a rear shade on sale via gumtree & here a little while ago too ! ... You may have trouble finding the chrome tail lights though ... :(

They do look a little short height wise & may not clear the rear, you would need to measure the leg / raised roof portion to check clearances & make sure it doesn't touch ... ;)
