Front light bracket
Avoneer - 30/8/05 at 09:11 PM

Of the various ways of doing the front light brackets, how does this look?

I know the light isn't quite straight before anyone mentions it.

Yes, it will be at the right high for SVA.

Piece of flat bar under the ali trim which supports the light. The ali plate will be carbon fibre when finished and cover all the sharp edges and has a nicely rounded front edge and side on it.

Kind of Stuart Taylor-ish but on a bigger scale.

I think it looks "tidy".

Any thoughts?

argh...too much like RH.....do it like the picture i posted Pat.....two bits of oval tube(one each side) cut at 95mm long with 10 degree cut one end weld it to chassis then on the end use 2" diameter tube with a big penny washer welded on top to mount your light.....job's a good un

Pat, are you welsh by any chance?......."tidy"

Welsh!

No, Salfordian come Yorkshireman in the last few years.

So no one likes it then?

I do like your idea Triton, but I like mine as well.

Going to look at some Robins now...

Just about to post that pic for you.

Just going to get a pic in the garage of my other idea.

Watch this space.

Ok,

Other solution.

I can utilise the round top front chassis tube to house the headlight bracket "arms" as my shock bracket would get in the way if I did it the same way as Triton's.

I used the mounting brackets off a 2CV.
