Received my new roof rack plaques today - now I need any pointers on fitting them! I have the brackets on the front of the rack but notng on the back. Can anyone give some advice please and any close up photos of what they should look like? Cheers

I'm also wondering whether the brackets that are on the front of the rack are the originals...only one mounting hole...looks like 2 on some of the photos I've seen on the net...advice please...

nope just the one as there is a flat bar that is fitted on the rear of the plaques which has two holes in its only joined to the braket on the roof by lower hole/ rivit, it was designed by a Mr Heath and a Mr Robinson so dont expect it to be elequant, you can see on the picturers in the link in my earlier post ...

if you  any extra help PM or email me a number happy to talk it through with ya

Cheers buddy...I've taken a look and will have a go!  So it was all riveted originally then?  Off to dig out the rivet gun!
