Deluxe rear luggage bar ...... same as later years?

[busben]

Exactly what it says ...... I’m interested whether the bar changed at all over the years? My Barndoor has a (repro?) bar with fairly flat ends, as opposed to this genuine ‘58 bar which has very rounded ends. Is the repro correct or should it look the same as the ‘58?

Many thanks for any help!!

‘All‘ Barndoor are the deep bulbous ends. Rikkis definitely is.
So was my 51.

Ah, nice one Rob, thanks! Looks like I should have read my other thread for the photos holding the answer. I’ll blame tiredness. It was the early hours of the morning

Next question - are the lengths the same?

55-66 Luggage Bars are supposedly 1367mm (53 13/16").
1967 Luggage bars are shorter.

Anyone have a length for a Barndoor Deluxe Luggage Bar?

[the guy from Hungary mis-selling those repro bars should be barred - theyre junk)

Its the deluxe luggage rails no one makes a good repo of. Only splitpartsunlimited and they are much to thick.

If you find a bulbous end supplier can you share? I have the uprights and we know the bar is easy to get. Just need the ends.

Hey Chris .... who’s the guy from Hungary? Is that where my bar likely originated from?

Rob. Of course dude. I’m in the same boat and need some of the bars. Btw .... I can’t imagine you’ll be buying much from splitpartsunlimited in the near future
