This bracket is constructed from 1/8" steel and is powder coated for additional protection against damage from road debris. We overbuilt this unit to ensure longevity and optimal resistance against potential damage.
Check out the hardware we will be using to attach our housing to the bracket. This hardware is also powder coated to prevent corrosion.
