Hi,
Just bought a black widow awning. There is no instructions on how to attach to roof rack. I have an ARB deluxe rack.
It comes with two bits of ~10cm angle aluminium and 4 screws. Couldn't figure out how to use these to attach awning bag to rack.
Does anyone have one and can help with installation.
Cheers,
Paul.

Hi Paul
I just got one too from last weeks 4wd show in
Perth. Picked it up yesterday and like you no instuctions. For the price you would think you could get a scrap of paper with instructions on and a few more bolts.
I only recieved like you 4 small locking nuts (4mm) and to small bits of angle. For a 2.5mt awning I would attach it with a few more than this.
Cheers Brian

ARB have just developed awning mounting brackets to fit their roof racks, some stores may have them by now.

The 10cm angle aluminium and 4 screws are for mounting it to a Rhino rack or alike to mount it to an ARB rack like
mine just drill holes through the Awning c channel an aline them with the large cup brackets (between the top and bottem rails) of the rack and bolt it to it

They are the ones that I bought, very fast delivery from that seller. I also believe that ARB have them now too.

Hey Shaker,
Good to see that you bought these ones are they are brackets that my mate & I came up with to solve his problem and decided to produce a few extra and see how they went on Ebay.....sold pretty quickly to.....so we might keep making them if there is enough interest although at $50 per pair they sold below cost as they were powdercoated....maybe we should produce them as gal only and let users paint them.
Regards
Stuart

Yes, that's the ones that I bought.
I think you should keep them powdercoated but increase your reserve price, I think the ARB ones are aound $125.00.

Thanks all for your replies. The instructions on the Gunyah site make it a little clearer. Not sure why Black Widow don't include these in their packaging.
As I don't want to drill through my ARB rack I might go for a different installation option so I might give you a call a drop round sometime Jim, thanks for the offer.
