beetle roof rack

I've started making these in my spare time, it's an exact copy of my original sterling style rack, just looks a whole lot better.
everything except the frame is stainless steel, meranti slats cured in linseed oil, rubbers on the legs.
The frame itself is solid round bar and is tig welded together. weighs +/- 12kg
Can be powder coated in any colour, this one has been powder coated chrome, up until recently i didn't even know existed .
Brackets are stainless steel with a rubber to protect paintwork.

I also do type 3 racks , karmann ghia boot racks, and im working on a few other concepts... i can also get my hands on a 411/412 vw rack to replicate , which should if im not mistaken work on a squareback.
I can deliver in the cape town area, unsure of how to transport it up country as its quite large.

Do you still do this? Been searching forums for a roof rack and yours seems to be the best!
