Sharing information from adding "Strobe" lights

Since I travel on some secondary farm roads on occasion, I want as much visibility as possible as many of you do. I chose Whelen Ion lights. These are rugged and have excellent output Link to Whelen Ion series . The mounting brackets that come with the lamps have a narrow angular mounting window. I made up some brackets with a "wedge" to level the mount out. These pieces replace the rectangular pieces up on the roof.

The front and rear require different angles, therefore the different part. I mounted two on the rear and one front Ion unit in the center. I printed these pieces on a Prusa printer using PCCF (Polycarbonate with Carbon Fiber) and they are really tough. The PCCF material is UV tolerant, so it will last outside forever.

Here are some images of the parts. Happy to share .stl or .3mf files should anyone be interested.
