Lightwater, heard of this before. Many years ago a friend and other LR owners did an expedition in Morocco.
There was a FL1, new, the guy got a 'well known' aluminium roof rack manufacture to take one of their roof rack and make the 1st off set of brackets to bolt it to the FL1 roof mountings.
Part way through the expedition the new 1st off brackets fractured and the whole lot came off !!
Had to stop the convoy and redistribute the racks holdings to other drivers. On wards they got to a small town where a guy who sits in a hole with a gas torch reconstructed the brackets out of junk and re-fitted the rack to the FL1. It got him home !!
