Pipe Carriers

[Neil]

I need to put my pole on my roof rack because im getting less room for my poles in my van /emoticons/sad.png ive seen some pie carriers on ebay and other places but they are over £100 are there any others that anyone knows about a bit cheaper but look decent?

Plastic down pipes can be used

Gutter downpipes RC?

Yer depending on the width of the pole, they should be ok, might have to go to the next size up.

That one from tool station would go in my van wouldn't it? The thing is my 36ft pole wont fit in the van properly

 

[Neil]

Just trying to think , how would i close the end off the down pipe and i would have to make an opener one end and slide it in

Cheers RC

It should do, but can't be 100% about it.

What van u got? How do you get the pole in the van at the minute.

Yer those roof t hooks should fit ok, might have to angle them corner to corner

 

[Neil]

I will go to tool station at some point and have a look at them , its well annoying that them carriers are soo expensive !!!

 

[rcproperty]

yer they are, another place to try to have a look at them is a pound store if it's a big one, might find one in there

To help fix them to the hollow bits on the roof use these bolts, need a bigger hole drilling but will stop it coming loose and falling down

You can fit this inside and outside of your van

Neil,

If the pole is too long why not cut a 4" hole at the top of the bulk head, between the driver and passenger seats, then a length of 4" pipe cut to size to put the pole in. You can then secure the pipe with cable ties to the inside of the roof.

May find you have enough room and save yourself a bit of money.

Yer that's what I was on about, havent looked at video is it 110mm pipe? If so you can get end caps for them and glue them on, then they just unscrew to open. You could use cable ties, but keep an eye on them with movement of the van the could wear and snap,

I fitted these in a mates van and used the proper pipe clips you can get with then and fixed the clips with those bolts I gave link to earlier
