Hi! I am hoping someone can help me out here. I am looking at an install option for my Chevy Trailblazer. If I remove the roof rack on the truck, I have some mounting points. Here's what I need: On the Whelen mounting feet, what are the dimensions between the holes on the mounting feet. In this photo specifically:

Does anyone have a mount available that they can get the dimensions of A, B and C in this photo?


Note: This is not my photo, it came from an E-Bay auction


Thank you in advance!

The holes from my roof rack are 6 3/4" apart

This sounds promising! You just need to "wallow out" each of the "B" holes in the mounting feet just 1/16" wider.


This could be accomplished using a Rotozip (side cutting) drill bit, a Dremel tool, or even by hand using a round file.

Hmmmm, that IS promising! I am not so good with the fractions, so I thought it was more than that, LOL.


Thanks foor the clarification! Our department is starting to require a roof light, and I figured if I could use the roof rack mounts for a Whelen bar that would be pretty slick. We'll see what happens.


Thanks everyone for the help!
