Still 1/2 a dozen left at BCF Townsville as at 9.30am this morning.
Where is the best place to get the fittings for the roof rack that the awning mount connects to or is there a specific kit from Rhino that suits ?
Edit: 10.30am : Looking at the Rhino site, I can't seem to find the channel square headed bolts for the Aero bars separately unless you get them as part of a fitting kit.
Edit2: 2pm : the Canoe Carrier Fit Kit (S400-FK1) looks to have all the right bits apart from some nyloc nuts for only $21. Of course, I had lunch and went out to find OL, TJM, ARB all closed at 12 or 1pm. mumble, mumble, backward state, mumble, mumble.
cheers

So has anyone that has bought one of these, installed one onto a 150 with factory fitted bars ie the Rhino Aero/Sportz Bar ?
Also, are there supposed to be instructions in the box ? Looking at the ARB install instructions (thanks Amts ! ) the maximum unsecured length at each end is not to exceed 700mm. I have the bars as far apart as I can without going onto the plastic surrounds which leaves me an overhang of 800mm at each end.
I think it should be Ok, but just checking on what others have found out.
cheers

I quickly attached mine to the roof rack using a couple of holes I prepared earlier. After the mock up I took the roof rack off and found a nice way to fit the angle brackets to the bottom of the rack. Word of warning the standard T bolts are mild steel and very soft. I have some gal M6 grade 8.8 bolts that fit the T slot so these were substituted. Very easy to set up, maybe 30 seconds from opening the zip to standing. I have been thinking about getting one of these for a while and thanks to PP picked it up half price!
Awning mounted temporarily on the side of the roof rack:
Then a couple of shots of the awning opened up. Looks to be quite durable and will be fine for the use we plan to put it to:
Will have to give it a full scale test soon. I will make up some brackets to suit the Rodeo ladder racks so I can attach the awning when I use that to transport the kayaks.My 150 build - http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27423-A-Random-approach-to-a-Bluestorm-150-GXL-D4D-automatic

mjrandom - did you mount to cross bars, or to your cage? If you mounted to the underside of cross bars, did you shorten the L brackets at all??
