I sent some pics to E-M, but never got a response.
I drilled two 3/16 holes in each windshield bar and mounted with 10 x 24 stainless screws. At the rear, I mounted to the same point where the two rear bows are joined - just used a longer screw.
No special tools required. I used a hand drill, but a drill press would be nice for drilling the holes through the 3/8 rod.
I bought two 6' lengths of the tubing, so I only wasted what was cut from the ends of the tubes. I did bend and rebend slightly a few times to get them like I wanted. I mounted a short section of 2" steel pipe to the work bench with spacers underneath so the tubes would slip under and give a good round surface to bend against. It wasn't that hard to do - just took a little time to get both ends of the tubes looking the same.
