Pretty simple really just bent it up out of 16mm aluminium tubing, hardest part was just getting the bends right and in the right place to make it sit really well. Think I've got it pretty good now, stiffens up the pack really well, pulls the top of the load in and transfers weight down onto the hip belt. I do have some alloy flats and might try riveting a cross bar across the top of the prototype one I made up to see how that goes but I think it might just create too much stiffness and feel like carrying a plank against my back.
