I came across this arch on craigslist. It measured 7' wide which was perfect. The mounts were some generic swivel things that would not work for me. So I cut them off and lowered it a little closer to my top. I then had plates welded connecting the front and back legs. I also had plates welded for future outriggers and a radar. I plan on wake boarding off this thing so I thru bolted everything and bedded it with 5200. I think it turned out pretty good.

Man that is sweet.....I've looked for them every so often. Problem with my 86 is I don't have that nice flat spot on the outside of the cap. I would need to go with those swivel type things that you cut off to get the right angle which I don't think look nearly as good as your installation.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
twhrider2, so far I love having the antennas on top. It should increase my range of communication.
Rob, I think I saved the mounts if you need them they are yours.
