I don't know if you can see it, but its 1/8 aluminum plate with 3/4 tubing cut in half and welded on then I put stainless bolts through the holes bent the bolts slightly out then welded a tab to go under the gutter. I will post pics tomorrow if you still Ned help.

These I build on my racks, 1 1/2" x 1/4" flat bar with an L-bracket clamp. These are 1/4" bolts, I now use 5/16".

i actually have a box full of them in my room, when i made my roof rack i went to my buddies machine shop and asked him to make some gutter mounts that i designed and i told him to make some extras just incase and i paid it for it which wasnt too bad but all i had to do was weld a bolt to one part and a holder section on the other

here are some pics
