Default need help from the roll pan guys

I bought a bolt on kit off ebay from a seller efxsomething & it said it came with all mounting hardware. Well, it came with nothing. I'm gonna use self tapping screws on the rear bed sill just below the tailgate but I'm trying to figure out how to secure the bottom of the pan. I think Sir Michaels' kit comes with L brackets that connect the bottom of the pan to the frame rails.

Here's what I need: Pic of your roll pan mounting brackets.

I'm trying to figure out what type of brackets I need to fab up to make this work. Thanks in advance!

I am changing mine. I am in the middle of my tranny, and when I am done I will complete the roll pan. I braced the hell out of it by welding a triangular box across the bottom. I was planning on running braces to the frame rails just to strengthen it too. I have spent a lot of time on it, and don't want it bending because of the air hitting it.

The few I have seen that have been good solid pans like sir mikes, just were fastened to the back of the truck with the holes that are in the pan.. That was it.. The pan it self is pretty stout, rigid

I have a Sir Michaels roll pan and I made my own L brackets that attach to the frame rails. I can get you pics after work today.
