Tower Clamp Adapters?

[bergermaister]

Anyone have suggestions where to find a good tower clamp adapter of some sort? Or even an idea on how to make one or material that will hold up without sliding around/down?

I'm feeling a little plagued by the 1-5/8" tubing of my tower. Most of the knee/surf racks I see that are realistically priced are for the larger 1.75-2.5" tubing.

I'd like to pickup a couple of the racks from h20watersports off eBay but the included clamps do not fit my tower and they don't offer any suggestions. Not sure if their new quick release style will work with a different clamp if I were to try to change them out.

Others I've contacted on eBay and elsewhere about their knee/surf racks don't offer any clamps for that small of tubing either. Urgh!

I ended up going through here for a rack:

Trying to find anything for the 1 7/8" oval crossbar has been a pain.

Corey if Berg doesn't take them I will just let me know.

Thanks Miller - that DIY one may be the ticket - looks like about the same setup on the mounting holes. Corey - I'm not sure that style will work with the rack I'm leaning toward.

This is the rack I'm eyeballing-

I've looked around a lot and at this point want something that can hold either thicker surfboards or kneeboards, plus the thinner slot on the bottom for wakeboards or skim style surfs.

If I could find some that mount like the OEM style to go on my top oval cross bars I'd go that route but so far no joy - just like you.

Thoise clam,ps won't work, they are speaker clamps and the mounting surface would be too small for the 4 bolts.

I'd buy this one if it were me

Edit: The Universal Inserts would be required
