Where is the best place to source a roof rack for an Amazon Estate?
Are they still available?
Thanks

Ask him, he maybe able to accommodate. Only place I’ve seen selling new ones.

Be prepared to pay double or more for a custom item. Originals were galvanised.

Yep but a stainless or chrome version is always going to be a good bit more if that's what he wants.

Ray;
I have a very nice period roof rack which fits an Amazon nicely, originally from a VW Beetle...you might check in that world...big quantities mean prices fall...

Thanks Ron, I was wondering if a Bay camper rack would fit but didn’t think of a Beetle. I’ve seen a 240 one for sale but the rain channel clips look too short for the Amazon roof - correct?

140/240 ones are too wide, especially at the rear and have more wooden slats, don't go there.

You could try Mr Bridgers Roof Racks based in Sussex. He made a very smart roof rack for my Amazon and at a reasonable price too. Powder coated frame and varnished wooden slats. Check out his web site.

Just looked at Mr Bridgers website, they look great. I’ll give him a call.
