Here they are: https://www.jpldirect.co.uk/catalog/Rapid_Rail_Lengths_B15050.html

You'll have to self tapper or similar into the reinforced bits of the van roof.

Sunday morning pole holder  re fit....happy with them now....👌👍although I'm still using cable ties near the bulkhead because there's no space to fit gutter brackets or munsen rings(tank/bulkhead in the way).......👍
