The board is only for show was thinking of using fittings for my hardtop so drilling board isn't a problem

An easy rack... my next door neighbour has one for ladders and he's been using it for a few years. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Streetwize-SWRB6-Easy-Rack-Soft-Roof/dp/B00GOLJLO0

Sorry I forgot about this I made up some 2 mm thick steel plates two for the back above the roll bar and two for the front above the windscreen. The plates were about 50 mm wide and about 125 long can't remember exactly I welded two m8 nuts to one side with clearance holes in the steel so you can run a bolt through from the other side. The front nuts were welded about 50mm apart the rear ones had the nuts welded 25mm away from each side of the roll bar so 50mm plus the diameter of the roll bar.i then fibre glassed them in to the surfboard with the nuts facing into the surfboard the two at the back fitted central to the roll bar and the front ones fitted with first nut About 20mm away from the back of the windscreen. I then made up some stainless brackets the two front ones hook over the windscreen with thin rubber stuck to the bracket where it goes over the windscreen and bolted to the surfboard the rear ones are U shaped to go around the roll bar with two tabs folded out flush with the top of the roll bar with holes in to bolt to the surfboard thin rubber was once again used between bracket and roll bar. Hope this helps it looks really cool sorry I don't have any photos. ;-)up
