Long roof boxes

By my measurements a 235cm roof box may snag the back door. Anyone got experience of this?

Hi I have one 223cm long & it fits no problem!
But I hid have to make up bigger brackets to fit on to the very wide roof bars that LR sell!

Nick,
Any chance of a photo re the hand crafted brackets? We haven't sorted out how we are going to secure our box yet. Thanks,

Hi Nick,
Not in furniture rather people. My surgery is in High Wycombe (someone has to work there!). It would be nice to see how you have made your roof bars. If you can suggest a good time I would love to pop over some time.
REgards,

Duncan,
I have taken some photos of the brackets & added them to my gallery!
Nick


Top one is the original, middle one the new one & the bottom plate show the hole on the left I made longer as it was the same size as the right hand one & not long enough!

Thanks Nick,
Very useful photos. I have an Autoform box that fitted the thule bars on my Galaxy well, however... I suspect that I will need to source a new U bolt and then drill new holes into the roof box. Hopefully I can pop through to Beaconsfield some time this week. Bit of a mad week, going on holiday Friday, Wooburn LR fitting tow bar Tuesday and on call to sort out as well. I will pop into your showroom/shop at some stage and try to catch up with you.
Regards,
Duncan
