Probably need to run to Home Depot and get some 4" L brackets and some u-bolts to make it work for you.

So pretty much all of the Rhino Rack stuff uses T-Slot Bolts, and most of the other new modular type racks do also. That doesn't mean you can't fit it to your rack. You could do some jury rigging with the provided hardware, OR....just buy this adapter:
#31103 - Batwing Tubular Rack Bracket Kit | Rhino-Rack

It is a bit spendy, but I have Rhino Rack components on my truck and they are always well built and designed. But as Graeman mentioned, you could certainly do the same thing with hardware store components for less.

Agree with above. Without seeing everything I can't tell you what to buy or make. But, I think most of us here would stare at it for a few minutes and put it together in our heads. None of the awnings or anything I've really mounted was meant for the racks. Where there's a will there's a way.

Thanks guys! I looked On there website they have a kit to mount to tubular racks but they call it the arb racks i googled it and it’s similar

@Antonio198622 , you may already be aware of this but the Batwing/Foxwing awnings have slots on the rear that are spaced wider apart than all other traditional straight out awnings like ARB, Smittybilt, etc. I only mention this so that the bracket you purchase fits the channel/slot spacing on the rear of the Batwing/Foxwing's.

I think you could make something to work with that rack.
If you are still shopping for a 270 awning I would highly recommend the Nomadic it is much stronger and I believe it cost less than a bat wing.. Check out the thread and reviews of a Nomadic 270 degree awning.
