Bull Bar and SWB Roof Rails

[Banshee]

Hi Guys

After a set of roof rails for my '97 Maverick SWB, I'm not sure of there is any difference between the LWB and the SWB ones but logic would tell me they are slightly longer maybe?

Also a Bull Bar for my Mav, Chrome or Black I don't really mind

Cheers

LWB ones are longer but do fit a SWB, has LWB ones on his SWB have a look at his pics and see what you think.

Thanks for that but not sure it looks right :/, the front where they attach seems to have a big gap between the roof that seems to just be bridged by sealant, without a closer look I couldn't be sure but I think I'll just go for the ones cncfabs has for sale

I did mine and pics in my link. There's rubber gasket under the foot and that takes the shape of the roof. The trick is to use the LWB roof rackback to front on a SWB. The idea is to get the rails forward enough to carry a bar on which to fit your roof lights and for them to brighten up the topography not the roof

that big gap you say is bridged is not it's metal, these are standard LWB rails but As makeitfit says they are turned around. I copied makeitfit.

I can take some closer pics of it if you like.

The SWB rails are so short it's not really worth having them.

Here's something to get the imagination going, swb rails on a lwb...

I'm so glad you've brought that up as I wondered if that would be the case, how much further back do the SWB ones sit as opposed to the LWB ones as I want them as far forward as possible so as you say, I'm lighting up what's in front and not the roof, I actually want to use them rather than them just being used for show

Here's a close up of mine and the light plug/skt

The front of the foot is about 50 - 60mm back from windscreen
