Oopps, finger trouble! Forgot to add the last picture:

: Number on plastic end cap of P80 and 850 rail

Also 2 pictures of the P2 load rails:

: P2 load rail bars

: P2 wing profile load bar

Hope this helps:

Yeah, mine are idential but not 353-1329. Look closely- they should read 853-1329. Sometimes those 8's look like 3's. Yours are in much better shape than mine but I would still trust mine cross country atop my S70! Now, that we found the part number (I had no idea to look on the edge upside down from the "Max Load 100 kg" spot), I think I could probably find the round inserts from TASCA or similar on-line vendor! So, thank you!!

Btw, the round inserts come out to fit locking keys: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-OEM-L ... 0l&vxp=mtr

That I knew, but as they locked under the door tops most folks don't spring for the locks. The locks are a nice to have though as I have heard on MVS of someone having the tops of their doors bent by thieves to undo the latches to get them off!

That is an '8' and not a '3". So it does read 853-1329

I just looked at the link for the locks. The shipping to Canada for those 4 little tumblers is nearly $40 US. More than the parts! This is why I use Tasca less now as their shipping costs are getting more stupid to international destinations. It is now more cost effective to buy from my local dealer for the smaller items after factoring in shipping and our $0.75 exchange rate. It would be over $100 CDN for the locks when I paid $20 for the bars!

Yeah- crazy prices for shipping unless you spring for other things at the same time. That's the way they all are- FCP too. Actually, I've been in discussion with them about their $7.99 shipping for a small $1.29 part that weighs hardly anything. I know it's a hassle for them but they need to offer USPS shipping for something like that.

Thanks for the help, guys. Scott, you may be right on the 8 vs 3 in the number. Below is a pic of my part.

As these aren't of any use on my new XC, they'll be going up for sale. Any thoughts on pricing? $50 a pair sound reasonable?

Best look on Kijiji locally and see if there are any others for sale to try to figure a price. I think $50 sounds fair if they are in average condition.
