Help: Dimensions of ARB Touring Rack Cage, the FLAT section

[Dane]

I am considering buying the 1250 X 2200mm ARB Touring Rack Cage for my 80 series.
I need it for a 1650mm wide RTT that will be fitted so it opens over the side, meaning that the roof roof cage should support 1650mm wide tent.

I have been searching high and low for the dimensions of this cage, as I need to know how wide the flat section is - That is the rear part of the cage which does not have the side rails.

Can anyone tell me if a 1650mm (65 inches) wide tent will fit side ways on this cage - I would REALLY appreciate the any info.
There are plenty of Photos on the net but it is difficult to conclude based on these.

Thanks

Dane

Quick Measurements of one in the back of the shop is 57" from the back of the front "basket" tube to the rear bar of the rack. To fit a 1650 it would have some overhang and may interfere with the tailgate opening on the 80.

I was was afraid of that . Thank you for taking the time to measure up flyingwil. Based on this I now know that I need to look at other solutions...

The k-9 rack and frontrunner are great solutions.

I have my RTT on top of my ARB rack and am planning on a new solution for the coming summer. Adds about 6" of unneeded height to the situation. Will probably go with 4 Yakima gutter mount pairs and an aluminum ATV ramp. 48" x 90"

Will have a look at those options flyingwil. I too have an ARB rack already with the full side rails and with a 5" lifted 80 series mounting it into the side rails will not be an option. I could cut the rails off but it is only a 1850 (3/4) cage and i would prefer a full length will the roof tent and all.
ATV ramps... Why not
