Wanted: Old HG Spars to Build Cartop Rack

By NMERider at 2008-06-05 19:10

Hi All -

I'm looking for some old spars or cross tubes, etc. to build a custom rack for the top of my RAV4 so I can schlep my Falcon 195 around. It's nearly 7' longer than my midget SUV. I'm trying to avoid using the half-ladder approach if I can. If anyone within a reasonable radius from Long Beach has something you wish to donate I will be eternally grateful

Thanks!

Tubing

Check w/eteamjack about the spars from the Ramair he scrapped out, maybe? I already used all the tubes I had. Joel

Everything's Tubular

Joel -
I think Jack said he'd already taken his tubing to the recycler by the time I contacted him. Steve Corbin has what I need. I'll be paying him a visit before long.
Thanks! Jonathan

I have a rack built from

I have a rack built from parts of an old Axis 13. It was originally used on a '99 RAV4.
The longitudinal members were I believe the inboard LE's. Or maybe they were X-bars. Anyway it's very strong. The cross members are airfoil section down tubes, for a little touch of class.
Come on up here to Blue Jay and get it. Good excuse to come up and beat the heat on A Hot Summer Day...

Rack Tubes

If an irrigation outfit called "Rain-For-Rent" is still in business, they've got 20' lengths of 2" dia irrigation aluminum tubing fairly cheap. Joel work to live, don't live to work
