wtb machine-o-matic roof rack

[72vwtype2]

Does anyone have a machine-o-matic roof rack that will fit a 72 bay window bus (not a westy)?

I don't know much about these, but I believe I have what you are looking for.
They were in the back of my '70DC when I bought it, they say Machine-O-Matic on them and have a sticker from Douglas VW on the side. Don't have any pics, but its basically 2 long rails with long thin triangular brackets that mount to the bus roof at each end.

Hi Cerot,

It sounds like you have what I am looking for. Do you also have the clamps?

Thanks.

[Cerot]

Hmm, I couldn't say I do or don't on that one. The back of this DC was stacked high with hundreds of odds and ends. If you have a pic of what the clamps look like or could describe them I could look. (There is literally hundreds of random clamps, fasteners, clips, latches etc.)

This is the best picture I could find:

Can't see much there
Ill just pull all the random stuff out of the back and take a pic, if it's there it should be obvious.

The clamp is a small curved piece that is held in by two nuts and bolts at the bottom of the leg and attaches to the rain gutter. I have a set on my 68 double cab. When next at the office I can post a picture of the clamp if necessary.

I could not find anything that looked like it would help to hold the racks on
If still interested let me know, it doesnt look like it would be too difficult to fab up something to clip them on.

Yes I am interested. PM me a price.

Thanks.

Will also consider a Bay Window roof rack. I need something strong enough to properly secure a car topper aluminum boat.

Thanks.

Found a good complete set. They fit like a glove.

Thanks Ed
