Title: Pole holders for roofrack??
Post by: SonOfFormby on July 30, 2007, 08:17:47 pm: Hi everyone,(1st post alert)I'm going into business with a friend of mine in about a month,and that passenger seat,sure looks uncomfy with those poles where my head should be!! :o So here is my first task as a trainee W/C, does anyone know If you need specialised 'pole holders' for the roof rack,or do any of you use the ones plumbers use for their pipes etc.Any retail outlets where they are stocked suggestions would be greatly appreciated also.

Thanks in advance

when you say 'normal',do you mean a standard plumbers tube?

The soil pipe's and fitting you should be able to get from most good builders merchants.
