You just need gutter mount brackets
Have you tried eBay or gumtree?

Depending on what you want to carry it maybe worth getting a Rhino or similar system. Then you have many options for accessories.
If you want to just strap stuff on the super cheap gutter ones are cheap and work quite well.

Hey Bek, just type in roof rack into ebay, as long as they are gutter mount they will fit the sierra, don't worry that it came off a commodore or falcon, that just means that they have to be cut down in length.
I've picked up a couple of set's for about $10-20 for the whole lot, I just used the bars and I cut it down to size with a drop saw, but a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade will be fine.

Go to supercheap auto. That's where I got my setup, just some guttermount roofracks and a basket. WT racks will fit a coily, so you don't need to worry there.

EEEBBBAAAYYYYYY !!!!
Like I said, Falcon or commo roof racks will fit. You'd probably get some fancy Rola sports racks that not only look better but don't give you that annoying humm that square bars do.
Just forget the fact what car they came off, for $20, you can't beat that
EEEEBBBBAAAAYYYY !!! yep I love it.

Are you handy with a hacksaw? You'd just need to trim it down to size. Like some girls have told me, It's better to have it too long than too short
sorry couldn't help it.
