You should try Quick 'N Easy Rain Gutter brackets and a pair of nice
2x4's of your own choosing of length.  I believe Northwest River
Supply still sells them or do a google search or find a used set on
ebay.  QNE also has pipe adapters for their brackets if you have to
have the bar configuration, and they sell complete sets that are way
cheaper than THule/ Yakima.  I use 8 of the brackets  for my HD rack
to carry kayaks and anything else that needs transporting, but I
don't have a Westy top to deal with..

Most electrical conduit I've seen wouldn't make much of a roof rack.

Good luck.
