The item in my kit
I bought A36 Steel Plate 12-by-24 as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
I cut and drilled aluminum bracket pieces for the roof cameras and lights. The camera mounts needed additional holes and adjustments as I brought the assemblies together on the extrusion.
I sprayed the camera-mount pieces with black bedliner during the fabrication sequence. The coated brackets then formed part of the roof camera and light arrangements shown in the diary.

My build notes
The black finish was one stage within the mount fabrication. The holes and profile connections still determined where the pieces could sit, so the diary records the drilling and fitting alongside the coating.
The bracket shape, drilled holes and coating were separate parts of finishing the mount.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The LEIFIDE alternatives use square steel blanks with different footprints. Both are thicker than this purchased plate, changing the material section as well as the cutting layout.
LEIFIDE 12-Inch Square Steel Plates
These LEIFIDE A36 plates provide square hot-rolled steel blanks. Their quarter-inch thickness and unperforated faces leave the fabrication layout to the project.
This LEIFIDE plate is a square A36 hot-rolled steel blank. The quarter-inch section and larger footprint provide stock for a custom cutting and drilling layout.
