Hello All
I hope to be purchasing a campervan next week that has some roof brackets that are unfamiliar to me. Can anyone help me identify the maker of the roof brackets below and what sort of roof rack I can fit to them:
I hope to fit a basket-type roof rack to the brackets if I can find one that will fit.
Thanks

Where can I find a website that sells racks to fit these brackets. I've run out of the obvious phrases to search in Google.
Thanks

Standard Thule type roof racks clamp onto the Westy brackets, which are just a convertor barcket really so you have a gutter-type fitting to clamp to.
For info
http://www.thule.com/Thule/ProductPage____83112.aspx " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Go and look in Halfords, they sell all the Thule bits to make upo what you want.
Keep it real.
Search first - ask second ;>}

Thanks for that. It makes sense to me now. I like this roof box from Thule.
I wonder if it would look any good?
