Hi all, I’m looking for a basic roof rack, something flat that mounts to the car instead of the stock bars.
There’s a few on eBay but for £2-300 pounds. Just putting it out here for any suggestions or if anyone had anything basic that they’re looking to upgrade and want to sell on.
Thanks for any responses

If you're in Europe this could be a good one

If not then have one made is the only other option

Assuming minimum uk wage at approx £7.40 and it could be assembled / painted in 2 standard working days, including the indicated £40 materials gives a price of £158.40 with no profit margin. Now we need to post and pack it, so thats another £40 so we are at £198.40.
So the selling price (delivered) with no profit has a 40 in it, just the wrong side of the decimal point.
Just for fun.....nice rack and custom made so well worth the none existing selling price !
Ps this makes no attempt to factor in consumables.

(What you get paid per hr × 16) + 80 = new rack cost price
Or just get the apprentice to do the work at £3.70 per hour!
Just for the record minimum wage 25 and over is currently £7.83, 21 to 24 £7.38, 18 to 20 £5.90, under 18 £4.20 and the poor apprentice.

There is a half dozen companies local to me that seem to have class 2 drivers working for them for minimum. Makes trying to find a job depressing for me at the moment, may as well sit behind a checkout.
