Re: roof rack - worth it(one more pic)
Raymo, I wish I would have know about those clips when I was building my rack.
I ended up drilling a hole thru the conduit and securing it to the sheet metal for support.
Coleboy, Yeah, electrical conduit does make the rack a lot lighter, and you can
pick up a conduit bender that will give you nice radius corners, but keep in mind
that if the entire rack was built out of the conduit, it would NOT hold my weight.
The bottom of my rack is all steel and I have several sheet metal straps supporting
the conduit all around the perimeter. Although I can grab onto the conduit and pull
myself up and over the rack, I would only try to do that next to a sheet metal
support. I would not try that say at the very front or back in the middle where
there are no sheet metal straps. If I did, I'm certain that the conduit would bend.
Keep in mind that each of the corners are wrapped with the sheet metal straps,
that's done not only for appearance, but mainly for strength.
Best of luck!
