Schlud, how'd you mount your IPF's to the KM?
I have found a solution that I am implementing over the weekend - it is a Yakima piece that is sold in sets, 4 for $8 (i.e. 4 light mounts). They are pieces that are usually parts of other Yakima setups ... but they allow the mounting of lights to the KM round bars. I am picking up one set today to work with ... |

I bought the Yakima LoadWarrior Light brackets. $30 for the two, and it includes the round brackets for mounting to your bar. I then used PVC tape (waterproof, thick and tough) to build up the KargoMaster bar so the fit would be snug.
I also had to drill two new holes. One for the IPF bolt. The other for the lower mounting clamp. Very solid. and works great. |

Thanks fool.
The 'round brackets' are what I'm talking about - for my reverse lights, I don't need anything else ... still working on my front lights. |

I'm going to use the Yakima clips (like the ones I used for the front brackets). I just have to drill a larger hole in the plastic, and build up the rear bar areas.
I'll just do one clip per light because I won't mind them bouncing around on the rear as much as the front. Did you buy the IPF backup lights? |

T,
Let us know how the clips work out for you. I for one am definitely interested in them. |

I mounted up one of them last nght, it works great, doesn't move around at all. I didn't have to drill the mounts out. I bought some cheap-ass tractor lights to use as reverse lights, I'm not spending any more cash on lighting. :smoker: |

You're not talking about something like what I had my IPF's mounted to when on top are you? If so, those can be had at Radio Shack for $10 each. Just a simple antenna mount.
