    I think the Corson Piper Overhead racks have allen (wrench) bolts with some blue thread locker on the threads

    Gosh, I can't remember if I used one or two on each end, but I'm thinking I used a pair of SS button head allens with SS washers and SS nylock nuts. I'm sure I used a pair so they wouldn't pivot. There was a lot of extra fabric on the FCS pads, so I took up some of that space under the AL flatbar with foam insulation (i.e hidden pool noodle). Works great. I used 1/4" flat, and found that unless I mounted the tower clamps in the center of the long piece, there was too much flex on the long end. (like you see above in the pic). After that pic, I remounted the clamps centered on the long piece. I'm happy with it though. It's the best way to transport the wake foil in one piece.

    I am guessing that is the little one who was being born the same time you were giving birth to our towels? Not sure which birth was more difficult. Good to see the wee one up and about.

    Thanks! I did notice your change in the mounting. In the one pic, you can see the racks extending past your tower speakers (clamps looks centered on the center bar). In the close-up pic they are mounted very close to the end.

    I have the clamps and pads, just need to get some flat AL bar.

    I was thinking about having the center bar to be adjustable, but when I looked at your pic I did not see a need. Once I get them mounted, I probably will not be adjusting them or taking the on/off. So a fixed mounting would be easiest.
