Default Sourcing an Amazon Estate Roof Rack

Where is the best place to source a roof rack for an Amazon Estate?

Are they still available?
Thanks

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...

Cheers

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.
