Next trip is to buy some garden trellis. Stand by!

The feet still have a good amount of give in them. I've had it on and driven 50 miles including motorway and it didn't shift a bit.Very solid.
The 2 side struts are in great shape too.

Sorry!
That's exactly what you are saying!

Hi Paula,
I would be wary about putting felt between the rubber feet and the roof. I imagine that this type of roof-rack relies on the rubber feet making direct contact with the roof panel and therefore helping to keep it in place squarely on the roof (I appreciate it has fixings to the gutters, but these are only one each side). I think that the felt would prevent "adhesion" and the roof-rack would be prone to twist out of line. This would be exacerbated by any load carried on the rack and furthermore by the speed of the car and the consequential effect of wind-resistance.

Don't i need some adhesion?

I had no idea they were so nippy!

Production has already started on my adjustable support rails. It comes with nice gutter braces.

Just day to day general use really. The idea came from having to do multiple trips to the dump with garden waste and having to carry some wood back from B&Q because it wouldn’t fit.
I wasn’t intending to go all Paris - Dakar on it. It won't be a permanent fixture, just put on when needed.
-
Well i picked it up and it fits. just!
I'm going to make a couple of struts out of Unistrut so i can move the 4 legs in an inch or 2. I'll put pictures up if it works!
Very nice looking though. I was going to sand it and varnish and paint it but it looks lovely as it is I think
-
It looks like this. So a long one.I'll leave it in one piece then!

Paula,
Best to keep away from this topic, most of us old codgers on here have dribblers. I know Pete plans his Triumph outings via public facility to public facility.
Doug
The real trouble starts when you use pubs as public facilities. You can get into a dangerous feedback loop.

Sowing needle or bit of wire strand can work but often prodes the block back inside the jet
If you have the removable screw in jet take it out to clean it, takes some faffing around to get the aim back to where you want it
Best to not use wash up liquid in sw as this goes solid in the tubes and jets
Pete
How do i know if i have the removable nozzle type?

Here's a quicky!
What's the best way to clean your washer nozzles?
I have a dribbler.

It's going to be tight!

The rubber pads had a reputation for marking the paint as they do make a good grab
Maybe add a felt pad .??

Ok good idea

sounds good then!
I'be bought this one.
Looks very nice. Needs a little tlc.
I might even paint it white to match the car.

Has anyone put a gutter type roof rack on a Herald/Vitesse? I'm thinking of buying one just to use very occasionally.
I've found one with one clamp onto the gutter each side and 4 rubber feet onto the roof. like the one pictured but smaller.
Any horror stories?

Paula,
Nice car, apart from the furry dice, obviously.

They died shortly afterwards. So very sad

Hello!
I've popped over from another forum and I like it here already. Some of you may know me from a very long and much loved (by me at least) thread named: Paula's Vitesse.I'll still be adding to that i think as i'm not ready to let go yet.
Here's a video of me at Santa pod. Just for fun.

But I already like this format more......
And it's nice to see some old faces here.
