T-Top Outriggers?

[FishinGear]

I'm weighing my options regarding installing outriggers on my '99 2470cc. I'm the 2nd owner and it does not have the factory installed Rupp TopGun mounts welded to the T-top frame. I've seen some nice bolt-on solutions like Taco Sport Slam, or the more expensive mounts with under t-top control. I was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any recommendations.

Thanks in advance.

I see no replies to your question but will offer this; I had a CC2200 that had a thin aluminum bar going from the center framing of the t-top out to the perimeter of the fram. I went to a aluminum machine shop and had them cut 1/2" aluminum blocks to my specs. I then took the top mounting plates, marked all the holes that needed drilling to match the 4 holes in the mounting plates. I then cut the openings for the control handles (lubricate your aluminum often or the teeth will bind when drilling the hole) and purchased longer SS bolts to mount the entire outrigger mounts with fabricated aluminum blocks. I never had a problem with that set up. I did have a problem with the poorly manufactured Tigress t-top outrigger mounts. I don't recommend them.
Hope that helps.
