I have used some 200lbs magnets off of ebay for a 45" legend. I would drive with it and it never moved. If you plan to use this in motion I recommend a more powerful magnet than that.

The reason i was thinking the 90lb would work is because i was going to cut the bar down ... still not sure. Building a "throw light" for my plow truck. Lol

Lol I had a guy use 90lbs on a custom mini liberty 30". It flew right off with a 45mph gust of wind and hit a passed by. I told him from the get go to order larger magnets and play it safe. $2600 later after paying for a new fender hood and windshield for a 535i he did what I said....
