So I picked up a set of free ski racks at work (new Yakima ones) and some gutter mounts on craigslist for $30, and at my work I might get a set for free (wasn't sure so bought some just in case, and I work at a Yakima dealer)...question is, I really don't feel like spending as much or more money on just the bars as I did for the gutter mounts. It hit me that since they are just round, I should be able to buy some metal or aluminum pipes to fit, right? Has anyone ever made bars for their Yakima racks? Is it very cost effective (A.K.A. Will I gain anything by getting yakima ones versus buying something and modding it)?
I don't know much about buying metal tubes or pipes, so sorry if it sounds stupid. Anyone know what size pipe they take?
I only plan on using the rack during the ski season for my ski racks, and eventually I want to get an Olympic 4x4 rack.
