dirk1978 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 Does anyone know the measurement between the feet or bars on the roof racks on Lupos? I've already got various bike racks and a 500L roof box and some 961 wing bars (apparently the right ones for Lupos?) but I need to get a foot pack and fitting kit. Just wondering if my Thule 500L box and bike carriers will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darran Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I have this for sale with two bike carriers included https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/thule-roof-bars/1344024901?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ios_social Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeha Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 If you look at the back windows, there are some little black arrows, like toblerone shapes. The rear feet sit between them. There are the same shapes stamped into the door apertures at the top. Use your fingers and you'll feel them. Measure the distance from the front arrow of each pair and it'll be about right. I got the 754 feet for £30 and the fitting kit for £20 via ebay. Gumtree is OK too if you know the part numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good finds. Thanks for the info. Looks about a metre to me. I might try the 500L roof box for a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 You realise there is a 50kg roof load limit? Which includes bars and box\rack etc. i use a 370l roofbox on VW roofbars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danno Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I thought it was 75kg. Ray I do like your cars, the roofbox does it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk1978 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I was getting confused and my roofbox is the Thule Pacific 200 which is 410L https://www.thule.com/en/be/cargo-carrier/car-top-carrier/thule-pacific-m-_-631215 Probably won't be that different to the silver one above. That's got a maximum load of 50KG anyway. The roof box is 13 KG and the wing bars weigh almost nothing. I think I'd be OK with 37 KG in the box.
