my yak roof aid

[kell]

This is mine which i put together quickly because i had forgot about getting yak on van roof. The hardest bit is finding the steel to make it BUT I went to wicks and found that a piece of wall bracket channel fits perfect in the roof bars the type with small slots which you screw to wall and then hang the brackets on it. The walked round to steel box section and found some 20mm square box cut a piece 6" approx off and had son in law weld it to the end. The took some pipe out of garage and slotted it on. Fixed a piece of bungee too it and drilled through for a bolt leaving enough room for pipe to rotate but the bolt acts as an anchour point for the loop in the bungee which gose over roof rail to stop roller coming out. Sorry if explination is a bit crap.

Good job Kell, getting the kayak on the roof is always a real pain until you have worked out a viable and foolproof method.
