Roofrack Thread

DMNCLNR · Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2007 8:42 pm Post subject: Roofrack Thread

Can we possibly do a sticky on roofrack's? I am looking for one for my square and when I started looking for specific info, the search button yielded three pages with a lot of hte same questions.

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/search.php?mode=results
Would just like to see some nice original and home made jobbies, and some tips on how to tell if a rack is specific to a notch, fasty, square, and wether or not they are O.G?

This is the sort of rack I am looking for. Nice wood slats, and it doesn't sit too high off the top of the car!

Both roofracks are looking good. Very Happy

Is the roofrack made by Pedro hallow, especially the main side frames?

Looks like I stole a sweet one from you then. A little work but it's all mine. And what a travesty, it's going on a fat chick!

Were those Pedro racks a limited run, or were they a custom order, or where there just a lucky few recipients of a limited edition hobby project?

Those things are SHARP—another 30 years and we'll all be talking about how rare they are, how hard to get, etc...like popout-seals, or a '71 steering column (both of which, I am sure, within 30 years will be readily available).

Here's another short rack on Wilson's levitating Square.
Not sure of the manufacturer, or age.

This is Russ's old 65 square with what I think is the best square rack out there. Its a modified Volvo rack. This is of it prior to paint and putting the wooden slats back in.

And this bueaty is a garage sale find. Dosnt it look awsome on my old notch!
