Subject:      Rain Gutter Rack Clamps. Vanagon Specific Size and Shape?
Comments: To: all listees <wetwesties@yahoogroups.com>

Hi all.


In my search to come up with a less expensive DIY awning, thought
maybe 2 gutter clamps, each modded to accept a U bolt, would allow a
lengthwise 1" EMT for awning.


Are these roof rack type gutter clamps specific to the Vanagon gutter shape?


Tried 1/2" long piece, each end through and eye bolt to stock points
(luggage rack rear hinge bolt) but it seems that there's too much flex
though that was just me pulling at midpoint. Maybe an awning would put
equal "pull" thus not flexing it?


The idea would be to leave long piece in place, so awning could roll
up on EMT. Nyloc nuts or equal used on U bolts of course.


Neil.
