I'm looking for some options on how to mount a curved 50" light bar above my windscreen. The brackets it came with are not suitable. I've only managed to find one company that makes a gutter mounted bracket but I've also seen them mounted to roof racks. Throw some ideas, pics and links at me guys.

Serious answer.

Get a Year 11 or 12 Manual Arts student to design something, then get it made up.

With a 50" light bar, you're a serious contender for 'I'm scared of the dark' sub-committee/team member. PML.

Having said that.......I've got a 200 watt, 40 inch and a 320 watt, 37 inch. PML, too. hahahaha

If I was going to the trouble of getting something made up I reckon I could design it but I'm just after some off-the-shelf ideas at this stage.
50" bar was a cheapy bargain. Its probably not the best quality but time will tell

I think I may have the same light bar , fitted mine under the front of the roof rack (just fits) , I had two 4mm x25mm 90 degree brackets left over from the cargo barrier and used these , have put the photos up on a previous thread on the same subject but if you can't find it I will get some more pics for you .

Oops, I must have missed that thread. What was it called?
Although I don't have roof racks so I'd need to buy at least one to go for that set up

How do they mount Lucas just by the ends or is there some support like in a pendulum???

I found this on Gumtree and I think it's a goer.
I can't find that brand on the net though to compare new price.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2017/04/261.jpg

That looks like a Jeep accessory, maybe check a Jeep outlet

There's a company that makes brackets ( stainless steel) for the light bars if you want them uptop and don't have a roof rack , but they fix to the inside of the door pillar up the top
Son had this setup with the light bar but it was only a hilux so no drama drill holes .

I messaged that guy off Gumtree abd he makes the brackets himself so that why I couldn't find anything online about the brand. They look pretty good I reckon and specifically designed for a GQ.

You could fit it under a Rhino aero bar, I had mine there for a while
till other options come about
