aiba works roof rack

[tomfu]

Hi people, i need some help please. I was given this roof rack lately and was told it came from a Japanese import. It measures 1.26 x 1.6m. All the writing on it is in Japanese as is their website. Can any of you identify this particular model? I have a Mitsubishi L200 with roof rails on a Truckman fibre glass rear box. What feet do i need to make it fit as the feet on it don't fit my rails, where do i get them, what are the parts for inside the body of the rack used to carry? Thanking you in advance.

I forgot to add, only the width is adjustable. Hope that helps a bit with identification.

OK, I've done some reading, also on other forums and it seems to me that this rack (AIBA Works) comes from Japan only on new Japanese cars and mini buses. So, I'm afraid you have to fab some mounting hardware yourself.

I'd get some feet and load bars from Thule or annother, and secure your rack to the top.

Hi Rudi, thanks for your time and effort.

Hi Bikersmurf,
Thanks for the input. I think i am missing some rubber feet, its just a matter of sourcing them.
Also, i have roof rails on my jeep, i also have a set of thule bars and to fit the rack to that would mean some fabrication, which is not such a problem apart from the ever increasing height.
