Default Defender Roof Rack on a Disco 1

Gudday.

I've got a mate selling an ARB roof rack that was on his defender 110. It's a full length rack and has changeable legs but ARB only make half length roof racks for discos these days and the legs are expensive.

I've only found one document that talks about bending the legs out 1/4" on each side to make a defender rack fit a disco. Has anyone else got any experience with this? Will I be able to do it?

Ta.

My concern wouldn't be the width, or adjusting the legs to fit the Disco gutter. I would want to confirm that the 110 rack will clear the roof of the Disco, since the gutter on a Disco is a fair bit lower, relative to the top of the roof, as opposed to the 110. Any good fabricator should be able to knock up six legs to fit, if the ARB legs prove (as I suspect they will ) to be too short.
Rovers North sells Brownchurch racks for 109s and non-NAS 110s, but all NAS 110s had a purpose built basket rack which attached to the roll cage. You might try your question over on the Rovers North board, as some of their sales people hang out there.
