Mine was the crash bar tube from an old fire exit door.

I used 1" x 1 1/2" tube. Under the light you can't see it anyway. Just drill a hole in it for the headlamp. Capped off the end. Note: In Illinois we don't have to SVA/IVA.

i have looed at a few diffrent kits and some just use a bit of flat plate with a hole in welded to the top of the top rail

only thing i can think of is projection issue on the iva
book item looks very complicated just to hold the head lamp on im sure it could be simplifyed and made of more off cut style parts
