Sounds like you want some sort of chamfered c channel???

Off the shelf, I have only seen forms like this:


You will probably need to get a sheet metal place to bend up what you want.

Ben the best way you can go is draw the profile you want to scale, and take it to your local engineering shop they usually have a folder there and can make exactly what you want probably up to 8 foot long in length if required, they wont bite you there but you will have to pay, cheers

thanks for the info guys. I suppose if i get it bent up i can make it as deep as i like so i can cut the centre section back as needed to follow the contours of the rear of the wagon as well...

Look for an old ARB or TJM bar and cut the tubes off ??
