Subject:Re: [Westfalia] roof rack mounting tabs

My '85 Westfalia has metal brakets attached to the roof, for     attaching a
roof rack I presume.

Are these something someone added in a previous life, or are they original?

Can I get two more, or should I just make some?  I'd like to have three
cross bars, to mount about a half dozen (really light) mountain bikes.

The tabs are probably Yakima side loaders. They are still available.  You
will probably want to use Yakima 1A raingutter towers in conjuction with the
side loaders.  www.yakima.com will have the info you need.  If you are going
to use fork mounts, I would strongly recommend the Yakima vipers.  They are
by far the most theft proof and easiest to adjust.
Hope this helps.
Jason
