Well its funny that you mentioned it as just last week I redesigned option A bracket, version 2.0 with D shape openings. I've been busy with other things and doing other projects that this went on the shelf. I never did get a chance to 3d print test parts yet. Next week I will see about 3d printing a bracket for testing.Did anything come of this? I’d be interested in option A. I’m also trying to figure out how to reinforce the front plastic supports, that tie in the beam to the A pillar. I think that’s a weak spot. I’ve been toying with the idea of filling in the plastic webbing with an epoxy, so strengthen it. I’ve also thought about epoxying that piece into the rail to bond it all together.
Still not sure whether to have them made from 1/4" aluminum or steel. Sendcutsend is who I used for my other brackets, are the ones that would make these for me. They cut, bend, and powder coat too.
When I'm back at work on Tuesday I will include a screen shot of v2.0 bracket. Let me know if you want just the top bracket alone or the top/bottom bracket option together.
Not sure anyone would tackle the oem plastic mounts to reinforce as steel or aluminum vs. Just getting a whole different rack system to replace the oem. Seems like a lot for such small change.
I was also thinking about making a version of the bottom plate that has a 90°bend going up on the outside part so you can mount other attachments maybe. Just not sure about slot holes or sizing yet.
