W203 Roof Box Attachment

[nigel cross]

I have a set of M.B.roof bars and I'm after the fixings to slide the roofbox in the T slot, to attach it.
Parts dept say that they are only available with a M.B. roof box and not seperate.

I made some very simple using "flat head" bolts which I ground to size and welded to flat steel strip you may not be equipped or even enthused for such a job but it is easy to do.

I did it with bolts and washers...simples.

I thought of just using bolts and washes but the box I attached was so wimpy I thought I needed to spread the load as much as possible.

I did that by using a couple of bolts each side and then using bar (like Meccano)
to spread the load inside the box. You can get a lot on these bars. In this photo you will notice the fixings for the box and the bike are invisible:
