Mike Owen Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 If anybody going to the Alphard meet at Gaydon at the beginning of July 2023, or any other kind person, who has got a Thule 1267 Rapid Fitting Kit (required for Alphard 2002-2008), and can lend me a piece so I can copy it I would be very grateful. It is just one of the metal pieces that attach to the car that I need to borrow. They are impossible to get hold of so I am going to try and make them myself. I have all the other bits that I already use when putting our Thule roof bars / roof box on our Fiat Punto, and I think it might be just a question of buying a set of secondhand punto attachments, then adapting them very slightly... but I need to see one and try it first. Here is the fitting instructions FYI: https://www.roofracks.co.uk/pdf/1267.pdf I would probably need it for a week or so but can post it back registered post, or another guaranteed delivery method.

ALSALPHARD Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Hi, these have been on ebay from time to time, I'm after the 1491 kit for gen 2, now they are now rare, Been refunded by several sites that had them listed but they dont take the listing down. Only proper seller i found was a Euro dealer. and finding that was too tricky to complete. ( there was an ebayer who was after £200 for the 1491= too ££ for me) I wonder if anyone has a close up picture of these items to find out whats involved to manufacture them. or find the equivalent part.

Yes, thanks Alan. Been looking for them everywhere, including ebay for a few months. I've now just ordered a second hand kit that fits the roof rack to my Punto, and am hoping / thinking that with a small amount of adjustment will be able to get them to fit the Alphard gen-1. We'll see..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
