Hi, I searched the forums and also Google but I cannot find the answer. Does anyone know if a Safety Device Safari roof rack built for a Discovery 1 fit a Discovery 2? I know that the Series 1 is a bit shorter that a Series 2 and I was wondering if I purchased a Safety Device Safari roof rack made for a Series 1 what kind of problems I can or will encounter if I installed it into a Series 2. Thanks.

 

Yes, it will. It will just be short at the rear.

 

Thanks, would you know how short?

 

 

you have to be logged in to the LRRforums to see that link...

 

Just an FYI, Safety Devices has been talking about doing another run of D1+D2 racks with enough demand...

 

I use a DII rack on my D1, and as the DII is longer by 4/6 inches at rear. The rack for a D1 will be that much shorter.

Both ways they look ok

 

I e-mailed Safety Designs w/ that very question. Here is there response:

The roof rack for the Discovery 1 (RRL104 0RRA) would be the same width as the Discovery 2 but it is shorter length than the Discovery 2 so there would be a 15-20 cm gap between the end of the roof rack and the end of the car.

So 15-20cm is around 6 - 7 1/2 inches...
