[QUOTE="Hydrilla, post: 131870, member: 863"] I did mine based on this, it's a method/link that has been posted here before- https://www.widgetsailor.com/owners/greg/guides.html Basically you cut the thing in half, get some U bolts and attach it to your trailer, slip some 2" PVC over the top with a cap on each side, attach each piece with a screw so they don't fly off/float off, and that's about it. $25 may be a little low if you have to get U-bolts, $30 is probably more like it, but still- that's a lot better than paying $100+. Also, lots of people that have these mount their tail lights toward the top of the PVC, to improve visibility in traffic, and to avoid dunking your lights in the water every time you go to the lake.
