 |
|
Hey guys I picked up a rusty old roof rack for my rusty old oval window at the Bugorama this past weekend. However, it did not come with clamps on it, you can see there is a bent eye hook used previously as the mounting bolt but there is no clamp. Does anybody know what style I need or have a pair to sell me?

I believe it is a later rack... the clamps for that rack look like these.
Here's a picture from a 1968 accessory catalog.
Here's a set of repros for sale.
