I bought two-inch aluminum flat bar as part of the metal stock for my camper van project.
The featured Amazon option is M-D Two-Inch Aluminum Flat Bar.
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 M-D bar is a long strip, while DOUYUDAO supplies shorter pieces and uxcell offers another short-bar set. Length, width and thickness give these options different starting points for cutting brackets.
DOUYUDAO Aluminum Flat Bars
These aluminum flat bars provide short lengths of rectangular stock for fabrication. Their flat faces can be cut and drilled into small plates and mounting pieces.
