Title: Saloon roof bars?
Post by harry.m1byt on Jan 6^th, 2007, 9:22pm

I've been given a pair of roof bars with the ford emblem on them, 4x bolts, a pressed steel bracket on each end and a hole for a bolt - Question is can these be used with a Scorp?

I know these would have probably fitted the Granada and recall this had the ready tapped holes to mount them, but during a quick look in the dark I was not able to find the equivalent mounting holes on the Scorp.

Scorp has the same set up. cutouts for them can be seen in daylight. One over each door in the seal.

I have the same bars on mine Harry; but I never took out the rubber cut out, I just pull it forward, fix the plate with the hex bolt into the pre-threaded hole and push the rubber seal back. Looks better when you take them off and there isn't a hole in the rubber!!

Also, try putting a piece of tape between the flat metal plate and the car body. Stops any scratches or scrapes.
