Very easy. Just bought 2 strips of Aluminium from Bunnings, bent them to suit, trimmed and fixed into position.

1st strip of Aluminium was bent to shape from Left to Right (Drivers side to Passenger side. 2nd peice was bent to shape from front to back. It was then drilled and riveted together to make the complete Stand.

Holes drilled for mount points to Parcel shelf and also drilled for Camera mount.

I riveted the stand to my parcel shelf using Washers underneath to prevent them from pulling through. You could use a nut and bolt situation if you need to remove the stand a somtime.

Very easy, only thing to make sure on is making sure the camera is pointing where you want. So before you drill & fix the stand in place, make sure its in the right spot.
