Default Cargo Box on 964

Recently added a Yakima Rocket Box Pro12 with lid painted to match car in Guards Red.
the front towers are Thule Rapid gutter foot packs 5”. The rears are 8”. It was near impossible to find the towers that accept the Thule Aero Bar. I was fortunate to find a pair of front towers on eBay. The rears were sourced in Spain although I had to buy a set of four. I have two if anyone needs them. The setup looks great. Mileage is down a little less than 2 mpg on a long trip. I added flag holders for events and shows.

Hello Tioga, You may have the two 8" rears for 1/2 of what the four cost me, plus UPS freight to wherever you are located. The two will cost you $112.00 plus freight. I will attach a close up picture, please note the rubber insulators on the feet are not included I had to buy them from Etrailer. I think they cost less than $20.00 for the pair. For what it is worth the setup rides great at highway speeds.

Let me know if you are interested. Regards, David.

PS I also had to add the locking ***** and locks, I also purchased them from Etrailer. The towers come with the ***** shown in the closeup.

David,

Yes consider it done. I think you need 5 to10 +/- posts to then send/receive private messages. Lets post away!

Thanks

OK Tioga120 sounds good. Email me at david.gerton@icloud.com and let me know your delivery address and I'll figure the freight and we'll figure out how you would like to pay. The saga of them getting to me is quite a story, they were ordered from Spain then they shipped to France and eventually put on transit. It took about three weeks to get here. None of the outfitters in the US could get them and believe me I tried them all. I was hoping the two I have would get to another Classic Porsche owner.

Those flags are putting some stress on those gutters.
