Lr3 expo roof rack fixings

[A.J.M]

Long shot here with this.

I have found a expo roof rack that's in great condition, no holes have been drilled etc.
It's under 100 miles each way to collect so not terrible for distance.

It however, comes with 0 of the fixings to the roof, none of them.

Trying to find fixings is turning up empty and LR don't sell the kit unless you buy the rack. £1,100 for that privilege.
So would anyone in here have the fixings?

There are 2 front mounts and 4 rear ones.

Go to LR Topix and look for the installation instructions on the rack, get pics (drawings) of the mounts, take measurements on your LR and go to a few local machinists for quotes. Not sure what the LR 3 rack mounts look like, but for the L322 getting my machinist to make up a set of 6 would cost me well under €100.

Get the extended roof rails. Available on ebay for ~$200:

With those, you could probably mount it with off the shelve parts from any hardware store.

I have the hardware in the garage currently if you'd like me to take pictures and measurements for making them yourself. I couldn't foresee it being difficult.

Would you have the 4 brackets that fit into the roof rails?
If so, could you measure the size of the threads?

I've found pictures for the fronts with sizes and angles which I'm getting made up.
However, the rears are proving difficult to get sizes for. :/

I would be happy to. Will take care of that this evening and report back.

I didnt get in until late, and apparently didn't label my machine bolts before organizing them. So I snapped some pictures of the brackets, but I do not have the thread measurement. Its a standard size for a 3/8" nut, which if I remember correctly would be a 10-24 or a 10-32 thread.

its 1 1/4 inches wide at its widest, 1 inch wide at its skinniest. 3 1/4 inch long, and the studs are 1 inch long spaced about 5/8" from the edge.

the black tabs (not measured) are to hold the rack in place to prevent it from sliding forward and backward.

Cannonball55.

Thank you very much! Those will be great for sorting out the brackets.

I owe you a cold drink of your choice.

I'm Scottish, water falls from the sky enough.

So does anyone know what bolt or bracketry will fit into the track in the rails of the OEM Expo rack? I am wanting to have provisions for mounting fuel cans and Hi-lift jack.
