Wanted - Genuine MG/Rover roof bars for 75 Saloon
Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone had a set of genuine roof bars for a saloon they no longer want. One of those things I had kept meaning to get hold of, and of course X Part have now run out of. Any ideas? Thanks Paul

I kept my eye open for a set for 2 years hoping a second hand deal would occur. Ended up with a new pair thanks to Les at SMC for a good price just a few weeks ago. It seems they are becoming, now what's that word again?
Thule do a not unattractive set. Best of luck on your hunt. |

Part number is CAB000080PMA If you search www.thepart.com there are 7 currently showing with SMC High Wycombe listing 2 of them. I bought a set recently from Rimmer Brothers and found them to be very good and in my opinion worth the money. Good luck, Keith. |

Thanks guys,
I'll give some of these guys a call tommorrow and see if the parts database comes up trumps. GG I noticed you catch the set which Les posted up...I was obviously too slow! I'll let you know how I get on...I actually want them so that I can put my genuine Rover push bike on the top and move it around more easily. Cheers Paul

Success! Roof Bars on their way
Thanks all,
I thought I would 'strike while the iron was hot' and called Kernahans in Witney this morning as they were listing a set on www.thepart.com which Keith O kindly pointed out last night. They seemed a little suprised to find that they had a set in stock so are sending them up to me. Costing me full whack, but at least it will mean that I can use the genuine cycle carrier mounts that I have already got! So, according to www.thepart.com there are still another six set out there for the taking. Les, thanks for saying you'd have a look...having raised the question and identified that there probably were some available elsewhere I thought I would go for them before everyone else on here followed up the other sources! If you turn up some I'll probably kick myself for the saving I could have made but no doubt others will get a bargain. Regards Paul
