Ronnie Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 We had the clutch go in our connect a few months ago, not to bad considering it had done 120k miles. New the feckin Astra van... All I seem to do is chuck ££££ at it. we're leasing the vans from new and includes all maint & tyres. it's nice to know we're never going to have a bill for vehicles as historically they've been a drain on cash.. the racks came in at £530 + VAT for both vans. part numbers are: Roller Bar - KB2D-B22-R 2 Bar Roof System - RAS21-R Clamps - RAS21-R Ladder stow - RAS36-R Cheapest place I found was TradestoreDirect.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichL Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Clamps - RAS21-R What are these like after a couple of years, any slacking off or does the lock corrode easily (it looks exposed)? And are they keyed alike? Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 What are these like after a couple of years, any slacking off or does the lock corrode easily (it looks exposed)? Only had for around 5 months but they seem to still clamp OK and we do a lot of miles so I guess it gets a battering.. And are they keyed alike? I'm obviously too trusting as I don't lock them so no idea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Yes keyed alike, stainless steel I think so looking good here too a year on... So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Could you not just face the lock rearward to help the driving water, and is the whole lock stainless or just the front plate? I would have the same reservations about the slackening off, but I thought these must be adjustable? Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

21ninja Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I have a caddy maxi with the side door behind drive racked out for all tools. 6 and 8 tread steps in rear. 10 treads on roof and 3m combi ladders on roof along with rhino tube. Plus spare and all its for install. Not as tidy or nice looking as the ADT van in the other post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a picture on the unit, lock and hook must face same way as on picture.... but lock is rear facing.
