SOLD! Full length early[?] Stirling universal bus roofrack

Post by Merlin »

Image

This is a very strong, straight and clean Stirling 'rack in it's original paint.

I doubt it's ever carried a heavy load, but that's just my opinion. :D

The original wood slats need a good sanding and coat or two of varnish but are strong and useable.

The legs are height-adjustable, but are missing their clamps. These are fairly universal items and shouldn't be too hard to find.

Unfortunately selling to help fund damage incurred in another hobby.

R3,500

Jo'burg.

Nice Rack ! :D

Whoever is keen - mine came with no clamps either and so I used the ones from Fishing Rod Holders (you see them on all the TAXIS - holding tennis balls or cans :roll: ) and can be found in most spares shops. Only use four on mine and have had many years and many holidays (KAYAKS on the roof) without any issues.

Thanks for the tip, Klaus. :)

Short of one or two legit' enquries, it seems the rest have silently rescinded their offers. :|
