Strange sizing and ordering experience
So...I measured my tubing and came up with a sizing of 1.75" exactly. That being said, I ordered the 1.75 clamp thinking it would fit based off the description. NOPE. The clamp itself without insert was too big, and the clamp using the rubber insert was too small. I tried using half a clamp and that didnt work either. Nothing was making this '1.75"' clamp fit around my 1.75" tubing.So I wrote to the company and they very simply explained to me that they have 2 sized clamps and the only difference between ordering the different sizing is the 'rubber inserts' that are included with the clamp you choose.That was very simply put, and makes sense, but to be honest...I did not gather that conclusion based off their descriptions.Anyway...I decided to write to Garvin ( the makers of the rack I have on my Jeep) and they confirmed their sizing to be 1.75". Still, was not adding up. So I bit the bullet and just decided to order the 1.85" clamp. This time, the item arrived in 2 separate boxes and was stuffed with every sized rubber insert, unlike the 1.75" clamp I ordered. Im not sure if the company noticed I had a sizing issue and decided to be kind enough to do this when I placed a second order, or if there is just some weird packaging issue they have within their company, but I am glad this occurred, because the only I was able to get a secure fit after trying every insert (1.65, 1.75, 1.85 and 2" inserts), was by using one half of a 1.75" rubber insert, and one half of the 2" insert. Any other combination and rubber inserts was too big or too loose.That being said...its very wonky sizing somewhere on their end, and would end up having someone having to order more that one set of clamps just to get the additional rubber insert sizing..??The clamps themselves seem very sturdy and good quality (4 STAR), but would be nice if they included some other fitting solution as to make the ordering experience less painful (-1 STAR)

Solid mounting brackets, but could be easier to install
I bought these to install lights and other accessories on the roll cage of my Honda Pioneer 700. The first thing I noticed was that they're pretty heavy and seem very solidly built. I have no concerns that these will bend or break.They fit very tightly around the bar, which is great, but also led to the one problem that I had with them. They would be much easier to install if the bolts that held the clamps together were slightly longer. It's very tough to squeeze the clamp around the bar and get the bolts started. I could also easily see stripping a bolt while trying to install if you're not careful.Despite some mild aggravation with the bolts, though, everything else is great. I already have a couple of lights mounted facing back, and I have two more brackets for future additions.

Well built at a great price.
These brackets are useful for mounting way more than just lights. I'm using them to turn the popular private-branded rooftop basket into an everything-carrier. As others have said, these work great for mounting quick-fists. They also work great for mounting Thule ski/board/fishing pole racks.A testament to their strength -- I'm using 4 of these along the top basket bar to mount an ARB 2500 awning. Note in the pics that I've also drilled through the steel side plate of the basket to secure the bottom edge of the awning. I wouldn't necessarily trust these brackets alone to hold the full weight of the awning, but with my current configuration I've had zero issues at highway speeds and offroad. The only thing I plan on swapping out are the mounting bolts as the ones that come with the awning are just a little short when mounting through these brackets and don't have threads showing past the nut.All in all, these are quality brackets that fit and work as designed.Minor update: I've ordered several of these clamps in different sizes. This review says it's for the 1" diameter clamps, but the top tube is using the 0.875" clamps. The bottom tube on my rack is 1".

Size is not even close
This bar mount clamp is heavy duty and well made. Unfortunately the size is WAY off. My roll bar is exactly 1.75 inches. Trying to use the only rubber spacer that comes with this mount makes the mount way too small. I used a vise grip C clamp to try to squeeze the rubber to get the screws to go in....NO WAY! Not worth it to send back. I will try making my own rubber spacer from an inner tube like someone here said they did. But I should not have to do that. These mounts should work for what they were made for. They are made in China and apparently the engineer screwed up on the metric to inches conversion because it isn't even close. These mounts should have come with a few different thicknesses of rubber spacers so I could get it right.

solid quality strong aluminium good coating look and feel like factory installed part.
bought this to add lights to an ATV the length of the banner(attachment area) and description of product is to add a piece like a strap between clamps to add lights, tools etc. I used them and drilled through and slotted the clamp to put marker lights on them individually. The mounting flange pinch clamp i torqued to 43 inch lbs, and it is very solid. this is with the rubber shim stock installed to make 3/4" -19mm size. I drilled #29 wire gauge and tapped 8-32 threads and attached lights. The clamps have what appear to be stainless screws W/lock washers. This is a product i will purchase again. The top screw of the light i drilled on the edge of the clamp screw with out a total hole the bit came out the contact surface of the cap to the body and i tapped threads all the way through from the outside of the clamp to the inner diameter and only have about 1/8 inch threads and was able to tighten the screws up tight enough to not worry about light coming loose, lots of meat there.
