Choosing mounting brackets
Work backwards from the accessory and the surface. A light bar on a roof platform needs brackets made for that platform's channels, a UHF aerial on a bullbar needs a clamp or tab that suits the bar's tube, and universal brackets cover the odd jobs in between. Getting this pairing right first saves drilling holes you will later regret.
Once the style is sorted, think about strength and finish. Off-road vibration is relentless, so look for solid construction, use quality locking hardware where you can, and check the finish suits life in the weather. If the bracket carries anything electrical, plan the cable run at the same time so the wiring lands where you need it.
Mounting bracket FAQs
How do I know which bracket suits my setup?
Match three things: the accessory you are mounting, the surface it attaches to and the space you have. If you are unsure, call our Burwood team on 03 9808 8966 with your vehicle and accessory details and we will point you to the right hardware.
Do brackets come with mounting hardware?
It varies by product, with some kits including bolts and clamps and others sold as the bracket alone. Check the product listing, or ask us before ordering so nothing holds up your install.
Can you fit lights and brackets for me?
Yes. Our Burwood workshop mounts lights, aerials and accessories and wires them in cleanly, so everything is secure and finished properly.
