I made a spacer to fit under the bow light so the light sits flush on something, rather than at an angle with a big gap all around. It's not OEM, but I think it looks great and stops me from being annoyed every time I look forward and see a beautiful piece of hardware mounted in what looks like a sloppy way,

Beautiful job on the bow light. I always wondered if the rubrail was supposed to be cut so the bow light would sit flat. It would bug me too. I would hate to cut a new, or good condition rubrail.
Impressive attention to detail!

Everyone told me the light was meant to be mounted over the rail even though the only way it would seem to fit would be under, after cutting the track. I couldn't bring myself to cut the rubrail/track, and it just didn't look right without the spacer.

I have the same issue.. this is a beautiful solution. Could you make me one and ship it to CT?
