Forkin Fiamma roof rack!

[Gingernuts]

Bought a Fiamma roof rack to fit my 6m Citroen Jumper (Relay) pvc. Working my way through the build destructions and despite it saying on the website “no drilling of the van” the pictograms say ( I think) drill holes in the roof and put in rivnuts!!!!!
Shirley shum mishtake !!?????

according to their web page you should have pre existing brackets that suit///

quote "Easy to install without drilling the vehicle, thanks to the preinstalled fixing system on the roof of Ducato."!

Yes I know that but the instructions alude to drilling holes in the van and inserting rivnuts as well as using the fitted attachment points, which I find strange!!!!!

 

[Gingernuts]

As below……

The roof profile in your instructions looks completely wrong to me. Are you sure you have the right kit for the year of your van?

You've got the wrong kit - see above & below.

That's a different kit, there's no flange for the bolts on that one - I think the OP has the wrong kit for his PVC.

 

[Gingernuts]

Oops!

One of those d’oh! Moments

 

[Gingernuts]

I’m glad I’ve built it all up now

 

[Gingernuts]

So can I use the H3 rack on my H2?
My vans got a F65s awning already on it ( pre roof rack)

Can’t tell without physically seeing the brackets etc, but can you mod the brackets or just buy the brackets as opposed too a complete new kit

 

[Minxy]

You should be able to buy the correct brackets separately so can still use the rack.

 

[Gingernuts]

Ok cheers both, I will try a test fit of the brackets if the weather holds out to see what I need to do!
I thought I had an h3 l2
but now know it’s a l3 h2
You live and learn

The H2 version has a plate that sits round/below the existing roof 'mushrooms' (not sure of the technical term for them!) but the one you have bought doesn't have this - can you not get it changed by whoever you bought it from?

 

[Gingernuts]

Ok I contacted the roof rack supplier and they say they’ll see what they can do as it seems it’s only the brackets that are different!
After test fitting a bracket this morning I agree!

 

[Gingernuts]

Ok all sorted, returning the H3 rack to the supplier!
Ordered the right rack from agent Fiamma
For general information the H3 rack is different in height, width and length to the H2 rack, not just different feet!!!!!
