San Diego Saaber w/96 available?? Posted by Ray Kopczynski [Email] (#681) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ray Kopczynski) on Thu, 7 May 2009 15:53:16 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Looking to possibly have someone in San Diego area swing by a San Diego place to let a guy verify some measurements for a custom roof-rack for a 1970 Saab 96 I have -- and will be driving to Copper Mountain this summer.
Original wood-slat roof-racks are totally "unobtanium" but I ran across this guy's web site: http://pedroracks.com and was quite pleasantly surprised. The pictures indicate good quality to me! (nice wood slats, powder coated tubing, etc.) But I'm Polish too... :-)
In any event, Pedro indicated that he would do a rack for my 96 but he
needed great quantities of measurements. I've now taken those measurements for him along with several digital photos as he requestd. [You only get one shot at making it correct. If it doesn't fit when it gets here. Oh well!]
It dawned on me that possibly someone in the San Diego area may have an
early '70s 96 that he could verify my measurements. We just did the
measuring last night, and will be mailing (and emailing) same to him
tomorrow along with a piece of cardboard with the scribed-outline of the
gutter-roofline for the "curve" he needs to adjust for.
My HOPE is that he could build one and ship it to me to use on my 96 and be
part of our NWSOC "caravan" to SOC09 this summer.
Anyone...?
Thanks!
