W123 roof rack
Does anyone have a roof rack on a w123? I'm planning on building one for my car(s) and was wondering if anyone had any ideas or was willing to post pictures or opinions of anything you might own. Aftermarket is great and if MB made one pictures would be awesome.
As of now I'm planning to make A shaped feet that sit in the gutter rail welded to steel tube (16ga) as a cross bar. For clamps I was thinking L shaped tabs that bolt on to the A's outside of and under the drip rails. Open to thoughts, particularly as to how much anyone thinks the drip rails will hold. Anyone ever seen one rip off? Anyone had to do body work around there and know how they are attached? It looks like the aluminum is pressed over a steel lip underneath, but without being destructive, I can't tell how substantial that is. Any ideas would be appreciated. P. S. The metal fab work is not a problem for me. Pleanty of experience making stuff from scratch.
