Awning Bracket for factory roof rack

[Knorf]

I have the factory Rhino roof rack platform and recently purchased the Bush Company XT Max awning. Unfortunately the brackets that come with it wont work, and my google skills to find an alternate from a third party have failed me. Most third party are the same dimensions as supplied with the awning.

Does anyone know where I may be able to get heavy duty brackets to suit? I have attached some pictures to show the measurements.

Is it possible to slide that slat on the rack laterally?

ive just discovered the same issue- thinking of drilling holes in the inboard rail and fixing that way..

Take a look at these sites, they may help find a more suitable bracket (a KAON bracket helped for my mounted shower suite):

6. RacksBrax Quick Release Awning Brackets (large range of quick release brackets);
7. Pirate Camp Co brackets to mount awning on Pioneer platform or bars, example here;
8. PDF Heavy Duty brackets (2 models) here;

The GrenX brackets look very configurable. Perhaps also the PDF heavy duty brackets.

@euroflo Justin will your bracket help here?

This thread has literally hundreds of links to different accessory choices for the Grenadier. The above list is copied from that thread.

We might be able to adapt them to work with this I think....
@Knorf, have you a pic showing the end view of the car so I can see the alignment of the roof rack in relation to the car..??
Our brackets bolt onto our roof rack system, but we may be able to mod them to fit onto the Rino rack.
The rack looks like a pretty light duty affair but we should be able to make it work

Here’s a picture of the brackets for an ostrich wing awning. The brackets, the awning and the Ineos supplied rhinorack are super strong and definitely not light duty. My rhino rack has been tested off road for thousands of km with upwards of 200kg on top. Note I have added better fixings for bracket
to roof rack fixing, as I didn’t have the proper bolts with the plate on to slide into the roof rack slots the guys welded some up for me, but all failed and I temporarily used coach bolts with washers on to slide into the track


Here’s a picture of bracket with fixings I have now
