Here are a few pics. I have not mounted the sunshade over the windshield, yet. It will go on tomorrow after the paint dries.
The first pic shows the basic layout. This actually fits pretty low over the roof, but no worry about contact. The second pic shows a closer look at front upright. Third pic shows the mount plate. I installed studs in the body and made tubular spacers to hold the mount plate off the body.
Fourth pic shows the left rear lower mount (1/4" cold rolled steel, tempered at the bends). Fifth pic is an underside look at the right rear mount plate, which is carried by the body mount bolt.
There is no contact to the frame, and so there is no road noise transmitted into the cowl.
There were no holes drilled, anywhere, to mount this rack. The rack is built entirely of .120" wall tubing and is very stiff and strong.
When I finish painting the kayak rack "attachment" I will add more pics. This rack has cost almost $200, so far and more work than I imagined.
