Hello everyone,


I just ordered 59" Quanta Helix bars, and I'm kind of stumped. I'd like to use aluminum extrusion to mount them above my new IM 170EXT, but I keep getting confused with the T-slots on the Quanta lights.


I'm hoping to keep the mounting as clean and minimal as possible. I'd like a simple suspended aluminum extrusion setup with the light bars mounted neatly underneath, similar to the photo no bulky brackets or unnecessary hardware visible.


Could I see how some of you mounted and hung your light bars? My main question is: does anyone know what size bolts fit into the T-slots on the Quanta lights?


Thanks in advance!
