Rhino rack Platform ver 6 trap for the unwary

That's a bit poor for an Aussie company. I think I'd be letting them know that you are not happy.

Not sure how handy you are with metalwork, but I would buy some aluminium STOCK of suitable cross section and drill and tap, and cut steps with an angle grinder. Using a thin cutting wheel with little bits removed with pointy pliers, ie, scalloped in a few places around the periphery, the wheel will cut grooves and steps if grinder run along a suitable guide. Cut to required lengths then. Dedicated Hardware suppliers, ie, for mining and industry have a myriad of Eye bolt types to select from. Don't know what the awning bracket requires or the Box Mounts. Sounds special but are they?
It is all just scaffolding after all !

I would just drill through. I bought a different rack this time round, a european rack can't remember the name, and just used rhino rack hardware for it, and drilled the holes for the awning, it's not like I am going to take it off, will sell with the vehicle, as the awning is quite old now.

Looking at the assembly instructions it looks like you can still use the old style nuts but need to remove the plastic corner to fit them to the outer slots. I assume you could fit them into the other slots before assembling the tray if you need them fitted to the inner planks?

I just fitted one to my Ranger.

The Zwiflocks (or whatever they're called) can be had for around $50. STILL a ripoff.

All my previous fittings (except lightbar brackets) fit without modification (apart from stupid zwiflocks). That's jerry holders, maxtrax holders and Supapeg awning brackets.

The awning and maxtrax brackets still are attached with M8 bolts and inserts on the outer channel, and zwiflocks on the others.
