Re: Just a couple of questions
Marina Racks are a drop in fit, no extenders, just as standard fitted on the car.
The rods threaded ends are rolled, meaning that the shaft is actually a smaller diameter than the overall thread diameter. (as you can see in the pics below) It would not be safe to try to extend the thread further along the rod end as the thread would not have a full profile, so I think extenders are not an option.
Best to check that the rack is in fact centred correctly, something that is frequently missed.
These are pics of the two ends of a Mk2 Rack. Has anyone similar pics of a Mk1 Rack for comparison?
