DIY Roof Rack
Do you think that if I cut and bent all the pieces to size and packaged them up in a box with the manual that people would buy them?
Cost of materials $100
Cost of plans $25

I missed how it attaches. I see the steel tabs inside the rain gutters, but don't see clamps.
Amazing write up. Love that it's square tube as well.
For $175 I can imagine you would get takers for a "weld it up yourself" kit.

I hope that the plans attached to this post in .pdf format is of sufficient quality to make it worth the wait. Please let me know if you are having a hard time downloading it. I have a second copy on FTP elsewhere.

Awesome write up. I too am interested in the clamps you devised if you have any additional info.
In lieu of a monetary donation, would you accept parts for your rig? PM me with a list of needs and I will see what I have. I'll be back from France on the 5th and can ship once I get back.
Thank you.

Here is how I recommend to anchor the roof racks. These door clamps are worth a couple dollars each at Princess Auto or Canadian Tire. As an alternative, you could bend a piece of steel and that'll do the job too.

Can you add pictures of the clamps attached and clamp dimensions please?
Hello all,
Backed by popular demand, I will be modelling the clamps and adding their dimensions and completed photos this week. I will release V1.1 .PDF as soon as that's done.
