Rhino Rack Folding Bracket inventory - scarce?

[prharper]

Been looking to mount my weBoost Wilson trucker antenna and HAM radio antenna to the LC roof with those folding Rhino Rack arial brackets on my 80/20 cross bars.

Harder to find than gold right now.

Placed order with etrailer several week ago. They have been good about keeping me updated but the last update was an ETA of 9-9-21!
Ordered one on eBay AU and they initially could not fulfill order but found 1 in Western Australia. It's shipped and making it's way. Just need to locate one more.
Spoke to another online retailer and they have 14+ on backorder.

Seems like a good opportunity for someone to make a similar roof mount bracket.

@TeCKis300 found an option of mounting to OEM rack with carriage bolts, may give that a try but was looking for something that can quickly fold down (non motorized).

Seems like you could adapt something like this pretty easily.

You could also adapt something like this by taking the bottom lip mount off and fashion some t-slot adapters to mount on the bottom.

Another option from Comet can be modified to accept some slot adapters by removing the lower bracket.

Somebody else used a ram mount

Great option. Thanks for pointing out.
BTW - Received 1 Rhino ariel mount today from Australia. It's beefier than what I was expecting which is a good thing. Has a few mounting options.
