I need a little help fellas. I bought some racks and they are too big, the crossbars on my tower are smaller than the frame of the tower. So I was wondering what ideas you all had to secure them with some type of spacer. It's a bumpy ride across the bay. Thanks peeps! _________________ dbanana wrote:

Maybe some rubber around the crossbar to take up the space, that way you dont have to modify anything. _________________

On my boat we had the same problem mounting speakers to the T-top. We ended up using a thick rubber tape from West Marine to make a crappy rubber bushing. It works, however i wouldnt recommend it because it loosens up in rough water. I would look like some sort of hard plastic bushing/spacer rather than rubber. With rubber you can never crank it down becuase the rubber gives until the clamp is all the way tight. |
