If I was going to mount them, which I'm sure I won't now due to the flammable nature, I would likely put them on a small 1/2" round stock frame I would fab, with a matching fishplates for the bottom of the hood which the struts would be attached to. I will likely try and salvage the solar gear from my Subaru and tool with that. I did figure the weight on the gas and such and it still weighs in less than cheap solar panels. I'll figure out how I want to set this thing up yet.
