fitting a Batwing or Foxwing on a ProSpeed roof rack

In deepest Wales this week for work and someone had a D3 with a Batwing on it - gave superb coverage and really easy to put up and down. I was much more impressed that I expected to be.

Has anyone fitted similar to a ProSpeed roof rack?
What I particularly like is the ability to have it mounted to the side of the car as apposed to on top - resulting in still being able to park under height restrictions etc.
Obvious challenge I see is the tubular build of the PS rack compared to the square section of others although I am sure this is get round able with a little fab.

Photos, advice or general experiences of trying something similar appreciated Smile formerly Disco3Ben

Thanks Andy,
I have some of those mounted for my current Hannibal awning.
Trying to figure out a way of mounting it on the side rather than on top to minimise additional overal height. formerly Disco3Ben
