This is Part 3 of 4 of our custom roof rack build.
The Fiat Ducato, Ram Promaster, Peugeot Boxer and Citroen Relay all have the same roof mounts for a roof rack, but there is no straight forward universal bracket you can purchase to assist with a custom roof rack or rails. So in this video I show you how to make roof rack mounts for these vans.
The approach is fairly fluid, just built some bits and pieces and gave it a go, until I found the preferred solution. As depicted in the video, the solution is a 2 part fix, using the trusty 38mm x 25mm rectangle section, I trimmed down the various pieces to interlock.
I hope the video is self-explanatory, if not, tap us up and I can give more information.

Looks good to me. I think your design is simple but effective and a lot more straightforward than some of the things I've seen. Very informative video.

Hi Coz & Meeks, any news on dropping the fourth episode … I’m glued to the channel and feel I’m left on a season finale cliffhanger 😂 Excellent info by the way 👍👍

Hey, really sorry, it's coming, final bits being put together, our business is always really busy this time of year so we find ourselves prioritising that over vids. This week 👍

@@tippy_travels You don’t have to apologise ;) Thanks for the update - I’m just starting a FDL3H2 so soaking everything up like a sponge.

Beautiful if only someone would produce such a bracket , I’ve been gifted a rino rack and the brackets is my dilemma ☝️unfortunately I don’t have the tools to copy your design that and I think I would need them in steel to accommodate the weight of the rino rack , cool video keep up the good work 🙏

Thank you.. I sometimes take for granted my tool collection and workshop.. from memory, Rhino make brackets for this model of van, but they are powder coated steel, which obviously have a tendency to rust, but you could give them a clear coat before installing? An added layer of protection could work. 🤷‍♂️
