OVS 270 LTE install hardware

Have one on the was and by the pics I think the stock mounting brackets will work but im trying to figure out what hardware I need for front runner load bars. Do the m8 hex bolts slide in the tracks and will this be enough to support it?
Thanks for any help.

 

Hey Man!
The Front Runner Load Bars will use 13mm, M8 Hex Head Bolts! I've spoken with OVS, and Front Runner and OVS use the same M8 Hardware across various products.

While Front Runner does make awning brackets for 270-degree awnings, they are intended to be used on the Slimline II Platform racks. The Platforms have a rail running the whole perimeter which is taken into consideration when designing the brackets. Using the brackets on load bars won't really work since they do not have that perimeter rail.

That being said, since the load bars have those T-slots, you can and should use the OEM brackets from OVS. They are super beefy.

They will mount just like you see on the first photo on that page.

I recommend mounting them to the tops of the load bars vs the bottom, but there is also a compatible rail on the bottom of the bars.

Lengths of the bolts I am not totally sure about but maybe 30mm long? Just a guess. The bars can hold upwards of 220lbs so you should be just fine in terms of load rating.
Hope this helps!
