Is this true of the AN repops? I wouldn't have a problem persuading the bend a bit...
Thanks, but I have covers, just need to get them sprayed.

Hmmmm. Good luck with that. All the ones I have bought including Andover crack the plastic coating almost immediately.
So no I don't and if you do find some I'm interested too.

They should paint them not powder coat then. Since I won't be having this permanently, maybe I will just use 25mm pclamps from Repco.

I have a set of the AN clamps (new) (maybe that plastic dip would be better as a coating) but would consider swapping that set for one good original clamp.
I thought the Interstate grab rail was longer also ( to the Roadster vesion)
A New Zealand post on FB might find one in a shed somewhere.

The roadster unit does indeed lean forward. I'll have to look again at the Interstate unit I have. I can say it certainly isn't as upright as a friends copy, and the material might be of a slightly larger diameter. Won't swear to it yet.

Stainless steel versions here, no idea how accurate and out of the 3 OEM ones which 2 they are, they are shown as Roadster and Interstate.

I have 3 of his racks, 1 first Interstate version, 1 2nd version and a pre OIF T120. All fit and are well made, some brown stains near the welds but they come off with 5% phosphoric acid and nylon scouring pad.

Or just "out of stock" as it says, as are many of AN's parts are at the moment.
The UK (and beyond) has been under some form of lockdown since last March with many workers being on furlough or working from home where possible since then, so various non-essential items aren't being manufactured.
