and I saw a corvette for $1... :sure:
Wow! That was really constructive.
I will be more clear. In my opinion, it would be a better use of time and money to find already constructed mounts at a low price then trying to fabricate them yourself.
If you still want to make your own, see if you can purchase one at a reasonable price and use it as a pattern.

I made my own and they are fairly easy. I priced them at about 100 bucks per set for good ones(and I wanted 3 sets), so I decided to make my own. I modeled mine after what is used on land rover defenders.
I used 1/4 flat stock for the main piece, 1/8 flat stock for the curved clamp portion and 1/2 tubing (.90 wall) for the tubes. I think I used 6mm bolts for the anchors. work great, and they have never moved. I have had well over 500 pounds on my roof while camping, and 150 while driving/wheeling.
here are a couple pictures, they should be self explanatory.
