I have the coolest roof box in existence. Ever since I was a kid skiing at the Cairngorms in the 80s and saw one of these atop a red Audi Quattro, I wanted one.
Locally this beauty appeared for sale 11 years ago and I bought it. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles of new ones, but it’s my dream ski box. Just need a nice Nevica all in one to go with it and its 80s-tastic!
Problem is that our new car, Hyundai, has Hyundai roof bars and these are fixed in position on the roof. This position is beyond the current range of the clamps for the box. 🙁
Furthermore, the clamps themselves are about 8mm too narrow to fit over the roof bars.
I could solve the problem of the clamp position I can solve by drilling new holes, but the issue of u-clamp width is what I need advice with:
What solutions could you suggest to rig something that’ll fit over the roof bars, still clamp the box securely, and not be permanent or too tricky (I have no lathe/power tools beyond a dremel)
thanks!
