2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

Thanks for posting the pics. That looks great, very neat fit, and the brackets have bit extra clearance at the roof corners.
I'll have to workout how to fit the roof tent to that.

This is what I had to do. Worth it for that tight fit tho

(They are not done in the pics below, just in case you were wondering how they work!)

Hi Cuboard, put a Manbo bar, Nakatanenga Cargobear bar and a Safarei Equip lowline twin bar on the floor and measure distance from top of bar to the floor

Safari Equip 220mm

Nak Cargo Bear 235mm

Manbo bar 265

We know the Nakatanenga bar is 60mm above roof line,which makes the Safari Equip measurement 45mm and the manbo bar 90mm.

That's a really helpful comparison actually Brendan.

The Safari Equip bar sounds like a contender. Seeing as I'm going to have to be fabricobbling something together anyway I think they might work well.

I'm not going to meet the awning until I get home Sunday (currently away, and it's in my garage at home) so when I do I'll work out how I could get it to fit on stuff and go from there. Are you likely to have any of the Safari Equip bars at the show in ten days? If you are then it would be worth me coming over to see them in person.
