Bracket attached to the 3 threaded holes in the back of the upright....
Wings to bracket secured by two bolts drilled through the GRP and through the bracket... Some people bond them but I prefer the bolted approach....
Then again, the main problem I have is that the spacer tubes (to create the distance between the upright and the bracket) is that the spacer is made
out of ali and it gets crushed by vibrations when driving- I'm replacing them with mild steel tubes....

1. The uprights, but used MAC#1 brackets.
2. PU adhesive, nothing else, so far so good!!

Don’t use flat bar to do the vertical parts of the frame instead of the normal tube as I tried this and it simply is too wobbly.
