Looks good NineCherries.

How are they for wind noise? I've heard some are good while others howl like a banshee.

Can’t say I hear it. Definitely no whistle noted or harmonic vibration. I plan to put I light bar on it at some point so I don’t know if that will make any difference. Tony.

I remember mine howling after I had picked it up coming back from Surrey it was really loud :D
The noise went after I fitted the spot lights.

Yeah, seems to fit with what I've heard, that it's highly variable as to whether it howls or not

Hi Dan, is this a Disco or Defender 90 roof rack? looks really smart and those brackets don't look like they'd be too much effort to fabricate. Any idea where it came from?

Hi I'm pretty sure it's a discovery one can't remember what the chap said that I bought it of now....
Yeah the brackets are pretty simple I can take some close ups tomorrow and take some measurements of the rack if that helps?
