Nice job....especially like the rail; but I already told ya that. What mount did you use for the rail to secure it to the kayak?

OK, so where can you order the mounts. Tried every web search and never could find a place?

Thanks CurtnAZ

You will want to order the TracPort starter kit.
Part Numbers
01-1105-61 TracPort500 Kit, 500 mm. Extrusion, 2 end caps, 2 mounting feet, joiner, infill cut to length, screws and bolts for assembly.

Get a 1 1/2" drum sander and contour the center of the 2 two mounting feet to fit the top of the rear cross bar. I used 4 #12 self tapping screws (supplied) it's rock solid.

Careful!: be sure to avoid the two spring mechanisms or your akas won't fit.

Another method is to get the TracPort500 Dash kit and order the 2 legs separatly (SKU: 03-4102-11) toss away the two bottom mounts and replace them with your ground out legs)

Let me know if you need more info (ie drill bit size, etc)

I had already checked both of the sites you listed. The site refers me to a email in CA. Catalog is just that with no listing of where to buy. The best I could find is a kayak supply dealer who looks like they are getting a dealership to sell in the US. I will hold out for a while. Thanks for the help.
