new to this forum, hoping that someone could pass on any advice.. Looking to mount spots on my roof rack, trouble is not enough space in between the top and bottom slats to sit spots. Any advice on the type of spots to use and how to mount them. Thanks :?

think the lights are bout £20 from halfrauds(rings)
could just put a hole through the rack (front to rear) & put a long bolt in the lamp mounting & go through it like that & then have the lamp 90' to the rack

only issue with mounting them like that is the depth of the rear of the lamps. would have to pack them out to bring them to sit flush, not sure wether this would be secure enough?
