Had a look around and found some 12 perspex I had lying around from an old TAB counter.
I'll just spray it matt black and secure with a few rivnuts

Why not cut off the front uprights and put one piece through the front ?
It would certainly be strong enough, I dont think it would really matter aero dynamically.
as long as it has something there I think.
Back to the light bar did you use the lightbar mounting brackets, I can either make my own
and weld to the front of the lower loop or weld a piece of flat to the lower loop and use the
lightbar brackets.
The awning I'm going to bolt straight onto the side uprights using a piece of insertion rubber as a gasket.
I dont think the small angle its on will make any difference,
Bit hard ATM as Ive no one to flip the rack so I can weld the light bar brackets on, Damn.
To answer your question you cant weld this stuff I have no idea what type of steel it is other than Chinese
@ mega can you put a pic of lightbar and your roof so I can see clearance please ,,,,when your ready
Awning straight to the uprights is fine.
The is how I've bolted on the light bar

Thats looks nice and neat Winnie and easy enough to do as well , no room under the rack on a GQ ?
was going to weld two of these on with the top of the light bar level with the floor of the rack
There probably is enough room if you raise the front but we had that bit of ally lying around and a milling machine so why not... Lol
yeah why not indeed its all about KISS, I'd like to retain the original mounting posts like yours, [same bar]
with the rubber as a bit of cushion.
I'll some how turn the rack over and weld some flat plate underneath to except the mounting brackets.
Thanks for that
Been over thinking it I reckon lol
been looking at it and sorted the light bar mount,Thanks Winnie.
really want to mount the small light bar off to the left, I know light bars are awesome for side way light
just think it may help it a bit more. I'm mounting the awning on the drivers side
using the original light bar feet will cause the brackets to be way too far towards to edge ,
so I'll have to flip them inside like Winnie has. That will move them in 20mm each side.
Finally. Might have it ready for the weekend at this rate, just need 4 ppl about 6ft high min lol
I was able to flip the rack, you'll notice I welded a tab on fr corner
thats for some 10watt flood lights I use for camp
Here's some pics of clearance and spacers I needed, my light bars mount differently to yours with 3 mounts per 22" bar
Sorry somehow the first ones upside down... Stupid ipad
