Re: Astra shock quick Q's

Thanks.

Finaly got a roof rack!

Took a while to find one, that would deliver anyway!!! Have a crate to go on, have used some bars from another rack to mount it. They are drying after paint (where gold....) so will fit the crate properly tomorrow. Thoughts on crate position? Can go back around 30 cm. http://i65.photobucket.com/albu...

Also can i ask why the cross bars on all the ones i have looked at bow upwards?
That's how they made them, I bought mine new back in 2001.
Yeah i was not suggesting they were faulty just why would they make them like that, hardly practicle as a rack?
