Westie Roofracks (for a pop top?)

Hi All...

Does anyone know if it is possible to fit a roof rack to the poptop of a westie, as seen on page 6 of the most recent JustKampers magazine. The picutre shows a westie parked up with the top up, roofbars still attached (including surfboards).

I imagine a set of roofbars would have to be modified and the poptop modified to give it strength.

Any thoughts/ideas?

Cheers

Hell yeah, that would be awsome. Its a real pain when I go anywhere with the family (wife + 2 kids) and trying to get the surfboards in as well as all the camping gear - would be so much easier I could slam them to the roof and leave them there.

You can email me the pics at bholding1974@googlemail.com or post them direct onto the forum (dont ask me how tho, use photobucket etc).

Thanks mate!
