71DIMER Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I saw this ad for a guy selling a beat Datsun 1200 with a neat looking old school roof rack, so I emailed and asked if he'd sell me just the rack. Sure enough he did! Quote Link to comment

drew510 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Cody, I know this sounds obvious, but check Craigslist. You should be able to pick up a proper rack for cheap. I had one just like the picture above and it worked awesome when I went to school in Eugene and made frequent trips back and forth to Portland. Here is one for $55 - http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/spo/2231457591.html Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I found a 1/2 size shopping cart and took it home. The back under the handles pushes in and swings up and my mig welder fits it perfectly. Welding cables and accessories all fit. ..... but I digress. Quote Link to comment

drew510 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I know, I was just using that as an example. I did a quick look and didn't find much in your neck of the woods. I found a couple but they were "package" deals. Is that wanted ad yours? Quote Link to comment
cl72wagon Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 cl72wagon, link broken??? drew510, i'd love to buy it, if i didnt live 600 miles away! =) don't know what happen with the link. But search roof racks. Pacific coast datsun sells them on here. He custom makes them. He has an add in the datsun parts for sale section. Try this link or search..... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/27188-roof-racks-4-salecustom-made/page__p__395523__hl__%2Broof+%2Brack__fromsearch__1?do=findComment&comment=395523 Quote Link to comment

inline4 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 what about a roof rack that anchors to a convertible hard top? :o when I get my roadster up and running, I'm thinking of getting a spare top and hacking a roof rack into it, connected to the roll bar :o Quote Link to comment
