right, can it be done?
these are after market things that have been riveted on the roof and are pretty long, possible to have someone to weld up the 16 rivet holes? or find a new skin for the thing. reason for removal is that the wagon did not come with the bars. Cheers chaps |

why not just leave the rails, or buy some bars to fit the rails - this would be a cheaper option than having the rails removed, holes flled and painting.

not made anymore... according to the bloke who i bought the thing from before he lift the country. in my mind, he hadn't a clue what brand they were when he got the wagon. would like to get factory ford ones to replace them.
ill get a quote on it, i don't mind spending money on my cars i have already nolathaned it :P |

Hi. All major after market roof rack suppliers can supply crossbars for their tracks and even if the tracks on your wagon are factory Rola tracks can be fitted to cover any holes left from the removal of another brand of tracks. Cheers MD
