Those who know about these parts also know that they've been out of production for a long time. They're hard to find and expensive when you do find some. Yet for older rigs they're perfect for attaching a roof rack or an RTT. I'm looking at making a short production run of some clones made in 304 Stainless Steel and am wondering if there is any interest here? I have slightly altered the design of the brackets to use 1.5" X 3.0" 80/20 extrusion for the cross-bars. Here are pics of the prototype sets of formed parts:
I have since welded a SST stud to the lower parts of the clamp. I still need to get a rough idea of how many sets of parts will be made to get a good idea of cost.
