Roof bars for Ro?

[gareth h]

I've dusted off the mountain bike, wondered whether bars were available?

[stigmundfreud]

I too would like some, or a tow bar

[gareth h]

Think I have answered my own question, couldn't work out how to mount the rear bar

roof bars!!! on a Monaro!!! you don't by any chance own a red VXR with lots of chrome badges randomly placed on the bodywork?

[gareth h]

Possibley!!!

[yorkkie]

you can get Thule roof bars for the Ro. I looked at this about 18 months ago. Then decided to by a 4X4 for carrying stuff. I have the part number if you need it

[stigmundfreud]

yorkie could you post it in the thread?



ta



maybe b055 could add it to the FAQ?

[yorkkie]

will do just need to get to the other computa. Not sure how to post pics even though it is in FAQ. I will post part number and email pdf to BO55

[yorkkie]

just sent Bo55 an email with the Thule roof bar part codes for Holdens. I am sure he will put in FAQs

Take this down NOW.

There is no way roof bars and a Monaro go together.

What would happen to whatever is on the bars when you put your foot down?

I am just waiting now for someone to attach a tow bar so they can tow a caravan.

I agree thats why i didnt do it but sometimes needs must

Quite. Now, what we actually do need, and much more in keeping with our cars' native land, are the very similarly monikered "roo bars". Basically big bits of scaffolding out the front, designed to expedite Skippy to 'roo heaven with a minimum of fuss and ditto bodywork damage. Over here it'd obviously be very, very illegal, but probably a useful tool for negotiating road space with your fellow motorist

No need if you have the fastest colour (red), they tend to get out of the way

I suppose if the car is yellow you could understand their fright and leaping for freedom

These are the Thule and Rola parts used in Australia.
Not sure if the part numbers are the same.
