As long as it's fixed down they are normally happy.
Here is a pic of the SJ fixings.
A kit from halfrauds would do the job, but one side may need shortening and the end bending back ?

A bit of flat bar with a couple of holes and some threaded rod from the DIY shop would do it if the filler plugs are flush with the top.
