Anybody using one of these on a 1st. gen? I understand they mount to the factory fiberglass rain-gutters. Anybody have any problems with this?

I would be hesitant, but I think Roger Brown did this and is happy. One cannot go far wrong following Roger Brown's lead. I'm sure he'll chime in soon.

I plan on drilling holes in the fiberglass and using rubber expanding nuts.

thanks, will do!

I couldn't find a rack that i liked, so i designed and built a rack for my 88 4R...

Bill_Morgan, I also had planned to use expanding nuts, and that may work in the rear where the fiber glass is almost 1/3 inch thick.. but in the front, it is much thinner... i simply bolted through using a sunken nut [like a washer and a nut combined, with the nut on top and up in the hole] and i built the feet long enough to sit on the front edge where the roof is more reinforced. With careful peeling of the liner inside, I was able to pull it back and replace it so that the rack mounts are not visible.

I have a few pics onthis web album

i would post them here, but it seems as though webshots doesn't allow linking to their pics anymore...
