Is anyone using these or purchased these?
The pictures and the website product description do not match to me. The description states “½” W x 4¾” L”. In the product picture, they look more square. I did email support; however, they stated the brackets were more like a 1/4" instead of 1/2". This would really make the proportions different than the pictures. I think there is confusion about thickness and width and length.
I am thinking the plates are 1/4" to 1/2" thick. I just want to know the other dimensions of length and width.
Just trying to determine if these would be helpful in my application or if I am going to have to fabricate (or find someone to fabricate) something else.
For everyone’s information.
Got a call from GFC. The offset bracket size is 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". I do not know the thickness. Also, GFC updated their website to reflect accurate information on these.
I made my own - the ones from gfc were not big enough to clear the stand-off feet on the rhino aero vortex cross rails on my pathfinder. The have worked well.
Curious on how you made your own and how it’s holding up?
Sorry for my delay in response.
For my set up I have a RLD Designs canopy. The crossbars on top are square and mount directly to the canopy through holes drilled in the roof of the canopy. This means there is no space between the square roof bars and the raised sections of the canopy roof where these bars mount. When I set the GFC Superlite on the bars, the track on the Superlight lined up exactly where the canopy cross bars mounted to the roof of the canopy; therefore, no space to put any type of mounting hardware/brackets there. My solution was to get 4 squares of aluminum plate. This plate was big enough to clear the square canopy bars and extend out from the GFC mounting rails towards the outside of my truck. Sorry I don’t know how thick of aluminum plate I purchased. Mount the square plate to the GFC and then mount it to my canopy’s roof bars.
I hope all of that made sense. If not, I can send a picture. My solution was nothing fancy, but it worked fine and held up well. I have since sold the Superlite.
