Ok I like the Idea and for the most part it is great. Now for the problem I had. The threads were not finished or not formed correctly. I first ran a tap through the hole and this did not help. I then had to get a 1/4 20 Die and fix the bolt threads. I tried returning it but it was back ordered and I am going on my trip tomorrow.

It works now but I wanted to return it so they had to pay a little price for there cheap manufacturing and overpriced bracket. I wish they had a small QA department and did not use customers.
