Sedan Roof Rack Mount
Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2018 7:26 pm
I want to carry a 14' AlumaCraft boat on top of my car. The car has channels for mounts, and I'm not familiar with how they work. I wanted to fab my own rail and mounting hardware using aluminum I beams and some kind of solid aluminum pillars to screw them to. The channels are basically square slots that look to have a very subtle bulge about half way down. It doesn't look like an expanding footing would hold strong enough from pulling out, but that is about the best I could come up with.
Is anyone familiar with this style of mount, have ideas or more info about them? I was looking for a cutaway view of the mounts, or even just close-up photos.
Barring that, I was looking at commercial mounts, but still not sure what I should be looking for that would handle an ~150 pound boat.
