Mine arrived with 6 bolts and washers included. Drill holes into each pillar fit. Let me know if you need photos.
Hi hodge
Do you mean the pillar that attaches to the gutter
Mine is on the a actual basket pillars. I've green circled it here mate. I have seen a few people install them on the brackets that hold the rack up above the gutters, but getting bolts in there would be a pain.
Also I think there is a U bolt mounting system, instead of drilling into the rack.
Attachment 43078
X2. Pillars on the basket.
Drill holes and bolt up.
Shops that fit them just bolt to the two outer pillars, I bolted to all 4 and when the bloke at the shop saw he thought I was mad... Lol

Yep I mounted mine the same way. Heads up, I fitted mine close to the bottom of the top rail. Pain in the butt. Leave it low enough that you can still use a hook or rope on the top rail mate. Drives me nuts. Any questions I have a full pictorial of an ARB awning fit up. I really should do a How Too thread.
You should do a few threads..Quote:

hey rickie3
did you just use standard u bolts
My ARB rack is getting replaced / warranty issue. So since I've drilled into it for awning and shovel holder, I might use U bolts instead of drilling to the new one.
Rickie any chance you could post apic of what U bolts and how exactly you dont it? Cheers mate.
I bought stainless steel u bolts from BunningsQuote:
