Hi guys,

Can someone please help me by ether measuring the distance between the left and right gutters or if you have one, on a roof rack, the distance between the left and right side feet?

I am trying to buy a roof rack and need to know it will fit.

Cheers,
Shaun

My roof rack is off at the moment, distance between the legs is 146cm. It has to be pulled a little when clamped down, so gutters may be around 147cm apart.

It depends where you are fitting it, it narrows towards the back. I don't know about the front.

I measured the middle bow of a three bow rack, thought that would be best average.

Thanks for the help chaps. I looked in Wiki but couldn't specifically find gutter spacing or roof rack measurements.
