Disco 4 Extended Roof Rails - Bay special

So I went the budget route on some roof rails - $199 rather than $750.

I got them off the bay (advert with Landmark)

They took some fitting as the mounting holes were clear through at the same diameter, ie no shoulder for the clamping bolt to pull the inner bottom part down .
The kit was supplied with 'some' washers that were too large to fit into through the top hole in the rail.
There were not enough bolts and some were too long.

After removing a corner of the washer to get them into location, and also fabrication of some plates to drop in the top hole to clamp the inside of the rail to the roof, we have it on and clamped.

The front curved piece would not fit home on one side and had to be tweaked.

So I saved $550, but it took me around five hours to fit rather than one.

These bars are either complete knock offs or rejected OEM...

BUYER BEWARE! There are six plates to manufacturer and maybe some tweaks to the parts to get them to fit. There are no instructions but the LR ones help with the trim cutting

I have some pics if anyone is interested
