Are they for sale?

Yes.

Yes.

Haha. Enough forum tennis. I should have been more specific with my previous question.

How many of my hard earned dollars will I part with and how do I go about conducting the transaction?

Installed my awning onto the pioneer platform with a pair of AMTS awning brackets.
Quality bit of kit with all the bits one needs.

I used these awning brackets. Incorporates an eyebolt so is a 2-in-1 solution.

Do these get supplied with all hardware including the eyebolts?

Yep. Eye bolts, washers, spring washers. Everything. Very impressed.

Thanks for confirming. I have standard Roo Systems brackets on mine but these look more sturdy and the eyebolt feature is handy.

Just placed an order for my Safari Snorkel. Due to be delivered 25th June. Install the week after.
This is probably the last Big mod my Prado needs for the forseeable future. Though I'm sure something else will pop up on the list!

Are you fitting it yourself?

Nah. I don't trust myself. ARB Albury has my business on this one.
They've done me a good price too, $690 installed.

Looking good Spilsy.

Yep. I tend to agree - I may be biased. It's been a slow build, but its finally just about taken shape!

Put together my first prototype quickfist brackets today. Needs a little work, but the concept is there.

Put together my first prototype quickfist brackets today. Needs a little work, but the concept is there.

Prototype 2 is now in the design phase. Prototype 1 was made from some steel angle brackets I had, and attemted to bend out of square.
Prototype 2 will attempt to use some 20 x 3.5mm aluminium bar, folded to the correct angle to give clearance for the bolt holding the quickfist in place (and an angle makes it look better than standard 90deg).

Prototype 2 was a bit flimsy. Upgraded to prototype 3. Using 32 x 3 mm aluminium bar.
