Custom Roof Rack Mounts

[Doc in AZ]

Dude, you have to get away from square stuff. I make roof racks from round tube for a reason... drag coefficient. Make it a little smoother, trust me, you will see a Los in MPG try to minimize it... and make it appealing not just functional. And roof racks come in any size you want and even in irregular shapes.

Doc, its all squared off for concept only. Once I chose a design I will then modify it for aerodynamics and aesthetics. There's no point in spending another 20-30 minutes on each model to make it look pretty.

Edit: and what do you think about the welded bracket idea? I was actually thinking that if I had you make those brackets then I could even forego making tall stanchions since the brackets would just need to extend about 3/4" below the bottom of the rack. Then I'd just machine some platforms out of steel to give the rack a level surface instead of the angled rail. Ill draw that up tonight after my bike ride.
