Roof Racks

[Trucidatio]

Yup no specific mounting areas on the E30s. Just be carefull about weight. Probabaly 250 lbs evenly distributed would be really pushing the gutters.

And to remind you guys if you need any parts or anything let me know I can either get them or have them.

No there is not any specified spot, just don't go crazy and over load it.

?

That's it.

[audiquattrot]

are there specified mounting points on the roof to place the roof racks? I just installed my Yakima rack, and wanted to make sure there wasn't designated areas on the roof to install these. I kind of just placed them equi-distant from each other.

i was going to use steel to make the welding on it easier....

i would go for like 12 or 10 gauge

So, I just picked up a roof rack off of craigslist. It's an "automaxi" that I can't seem to find much info on. If nothing else, how bad is it to exceed the weight limits on these things? I need to move an older 48" TV that weighs ~185lbs. I was thinking of putting a piece of plywood across the bars, then a blanket, and the TV flat face down, and strapping it all down tight. Sound good or no?

My Thule rack was fine. I wouldn't risk losing a TV though.

if your using aluminum 1/8 to 3/16 should work.

Like depth?

sort of....like the thickness of the sheet of metal. as in I'm going to buy some stock and use my school's plasma cutter to cut out the outline along with some other things.....like take digital calipers to the sheet.

Can anybody who has a fairing give me a thickness approx?
