About half way down the page, the picture is not that great, but you can get the idea. How ever you make it, make sure it is strong, because you don't want it to fly off in a accident.

Hi-Lift rack mount Mount
What i did to get heavy duty cheap mounts on the ConFerr for the Hi-Lift and ground anchor was simple, removed one of the 2 nut & bolt sets that are on the side of each bulldog clamp and got one of those long stainless threaded bolts, nuts, pressure washers and flat washers, and made spacement measurements to make sure the accesories wouldn't touch the vehicle's body, when you cut the threaded bolt with the grinder you must use a nut that will be sacrificed placing it where you want to cut, grind it flat until the bolt and nut face look like one piece, the purpose of the nut is to protect the threaded portion of the bolt, remove the nut and use a file to debur sharp edges until you can thread a new nut easily, now for the assembly, insert the bolt on the bulldog clamp hole, place on the back a flat washer, pressure washer and nut, now on the front install the flat washer and nut and thigthen, to keep the accesory separated from the body (offset adjustment) use 2 nuts twisted one against each other turning them until the accesory fits, insert a pressure washer, and a bigger flat washer to spread the pressure over the accesory, on the front of the accesory insert a bigger flat washer and wing nut, you can tighten using an adjustable wrench.
Now you can use the holes on the Hi-Lift to mount it on the bolts or make holes on the accesory you want to mount.
it does hold tough, after 4 100 kilometer races where you get lots of bumps and you punish your lower bumpstops a lot, no problems.
