Off My Roof!

[Anthony]

Does anyone have a cunning plan (or even a key) to help me remove the roof bars from my newly imported 1994 3.00 SSR-X.
Made by RY-INNO, they do not have a conventional keyhole, but instead, a circular tumbler with three small cutouts around the circumference. I do not particularly want to reuse them but would prefer not to attack them with a grinder unless I have to.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Tony.

If you just need to turn the locking system try cutting a straight line in the centre with a dremel multi and placing a big flat head screwdriver in the cut and turning it

Can you jam a socket on there and turn it?

If you get stuck trying to get it off you could bring it over the hill to sunny Polegate, I'm sure with all the kit that I have that we can remove it some how.

Roof Bars

Andy,

Many thanks.
I am still awaiting my registration number - I should get it next week.
If I haven't sorted the locks out by then I will get in touch with you. I sometimes venture as far north as Polegate!

Cheers,
Tony

Thanks Bob,

Great,this worked a treat!
Though the bars must have been put on by a Sumo - the rear bar left two
indentations. Now, where's that body filler!!!
