Not tested out yet. I think it may need some stiffening through the middle, but should be ok for light items. Total cost $64. trying to get photos to wrk. |

I had a mate make one out of the same security screens, however bent the edges to a 80mm lip 45 degree cut the edges and then put the edging on and weld it shut - like a proper basket. Two lateral stringers were run down the rough the guts for added stability and strengthening for the U shackles. |

Form follows function  The alloy roof rack I made for my GV was similar but I used uncoated security mesh and welded it into a 25mm tube frame. The idea was to keep as low profile as possible but I found the mesh to be incredibly draggy. YMMV. |

I'm thinking some very small section alloy SHS, riveted on from underneath to stiffen it up in the middle. |

I moved the mounting position forward as there is a slight curve on the rails, this partially pretensions the tray up. Also fitted a stiffening bar for $5.95. Total cost now a whopping $70.
