    Just some cheap one off the net for a $1 :P . good old $1 reserve auctions. its in pieces at the mo as im stripping it down. and gonna repaint it.
    but ill assemble it and grab a pic for you tomorrow or the weekend.
    only takes like 2 min to assemble.

    heres a pic of what it looks like. sadly my roof bars are wider than it
    The basket is around 1m by 1m

    6 foot 6

    Just a world of warning. As you know I'm also looking into putting a basket on top of my VX but I very aware that a number of car park and county facilities have 6 ft 6 inc limbo bar on their entrances. I'll by trying to keep under that height so I dont, sometime in the future, rip the roof rails off.

    C.rocket, as you've got a body lift and you've got high roof rails you must be very near that height already?
