they are the same type of clamps that fourtreks uses with their mounts but ill make my own mounts and save the $100 bucks that the four treks ones cost. these things were only $10 for 2 so i didnt think that was to bad.
and i also got 2 ammo cans that ill mount on both sides of the fuel cell for some storage
