Cut the Mending Plate
Cut the 5" mending plate down to size. The predrilled holes are the perfect width apart to accomodate the rollbar mount. I used a Dremel tool to file down the sharp corners and round them out.
Replace Bolts
Replace the original rollbar mount bolts with new (longer) 5mm x 0.8mm x 70mm tap bolts and attach 4 5mm x 0.8mm hex jam nuts to each bolt. (In the pic there are 5 on each bolt. I ended up taking one off of each side)
Attach Light
Attach light to rollbar mount ensuring the top of the mount curves towards the BACK of the light.
Attach Mending Plate to Mount
Attach mending plate to grip mount with 1/4"-20 wing nut.
Attach Roll Bar Mount and Light to Mending Plate
Insert bolts from rollbar mount into mending plate and fasten with 5mm x 0.8mm wing nuts.
Attach GoPro
Attach GoPro and enjoy! :)
