Grab rail

Hi all, 
Having changed at the end of last year from a gen1 to a gen2 I expected it would be straight forward to get a grab rail.......assumed Renntec would do one!
Apart from the Ventura shopping basket, there is just nothing out there, so.......
Bought a new 'comfort' rear seat from the US of A, but missus did not like the two handles, they just don't help when it comes to bracing during braking or accelerating.
Ditched the handles but decided to use the mounting points to make my own grab rail, pictures below:

Excuse the welding, I not not TIG welded aluminium before I made this!

The missus is well impressed with how it works, says it's as good as the renntec I had on the gen1.
