unhh Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I see a broken image too, but it's not a red X. So I'm guessing it's actually broken. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yeah, if you look on mobile its a question mark. Doug!- its time for a new image... Slap that rack on, snap a sweet pic, and crop it into your profile pic. Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I tired to change the profile pic but it would not take any pics. I will try again. Quote Link to comment
jun Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I love the rack, I'm looking for a proper old one like that for my wagon. Guess I should go look at a "boneyard"! Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Tough call. The car looks good without it but the rack does have some utility purposes. I say use a 2 sided tape so you can remove it if you decide you don't like it. This then would be for looks? Surely carrying loads held on with tape isn't good. Quote Link to comment

DatDoug Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 The VW style that clamp to the gutters would look way mucho better I like those but Im liking this better cuz its Datsun OG 1 Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 those slates that go over the roof under the rack... if u dont decide to use the rack i would like to buy those. I have that same rack on my 710 goon but im missing a few of the luggage bars. Quote Link to comment
jesusno2 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I Would build a much better one outta SS that bolts to the drip rails 2 Quote Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Anything but a screw down rack. Holes in the roof, sounds like the begining of trouble. Who cares if its Datsun OG? it is still Ugly and you have to put holes in to attach it. Quote Link to comment
Just Joel Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I love my rack, but it came original on the car and when originally installed, was attached via wood screws. After working on it for quite a while, I fixed the damage and reattached it with rubber wedge anchors that seal and isolate the rack from the roof. If I were to paint the car, I would think long and hard about reinstalling it but it makes the car for me and completes the vintage look better than a stand off rack would. later Joel Quote Link to comment
Duncan Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I have an original rack, but still having a hard time thinking about drilling holes in my roof. I *will* have the headliner out sometime soon, and can treat the holes and silicone the backsides for leaks, but I'm still not so sure I can put the holes in the goon.. Quote Link to comment
