pharouh Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Nice 620!!! Would a rack from an old VW bus/pickup work? They look like that. Hmmm... Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Guys i can make a roof rack for a 521, 620 or 720 just like the one in Fisch's rendering. I just finished making a rack for my wagon similar to a VW one........ Quote Link to comment
VoidDragon Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Old Mg triumph deck racks might be something to look into as well, they may be the right size. Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Pacific coast Datsun Any chance of a couple close up pics of your design? Quote Link to comment
Budget Monty Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Your rendering looks a lot like my truck! And I was already planning on making a VW style rack! Most recent pic I could find... Quote Link to comment
SUNSETJOE Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Your rendering looks a lot like my truck! And I was already planning on making a VW style rack! Most recent pic I could find... What size is that whitewall on the back? Please say it's not a port-a-wall! What brand is it? Sorry for jackin'! I have an old VW rack in my shed. From the looks of it, it's gonna need the length and width shortened, and the feet are gonna need to be cut and welded on parallel to the rain gutter. Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 the rack on that 620 looks good.just needs to be lower to the roof line. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Pacific coast Datsun Any chance of a couple close up pics of your design? No close ups yet. It rests in the rain gutters & has a clamp that secures it that slides under the gutters. Quote Link to comment

nismo dr Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I was looking at micro machinery's 610 decklid rack at blue lake and it looked like it would fit a 521 roof. Quote Link to comment
