    Yeah I know where's the pics?,
    Haven't been that flash lately but at least now I have the steel.
    size wise it'll be 1550 wide and 2000 long approx. This size will leave no off cuts.
    Another good part is I can lift it on and off at will. say I need to Zinc coat it
    just drive there and un load. The rear corners I'll 45. I'll cut it all up in the morning
    and tack it together, not a high priority job, just a job I want done.

    Yeah coming along nicely, just welding in 37 degrees outside that I dont like, lol Kallen Check those clamps from "ozmestore" on Ebay
    No need to Square roof rack , was 1 mm out as is corner to corner , happy with that. Roller off set on purpose, ticked off Laser cutter hasnt finished the sides yet.
    Should all be ready for powder coating by end of the week.
    Beats paying $1100 for a roof rack, main expense is the roof bars

    Re: Three dogs roof rack

    Yea there a top little invention. Just eBay 90 corner clamp.. mainly used in wood working but sweet for welding.. the better ones aint so cheap..

    Quick q, would you save more weight by making your own mounts over full width rino bars?

    Not sure I'd save weight as Rhino racks are ABS and alloy, so very light ATM.
    Clamps are made from cast iron and clamp material up to 50mm, no idea how to put
    up a link but ebay shop was ozmestore in S.A,. search of similar items may see cheaper price
