Headlamp bracket radius
Hi,
Currently working on the headlamp mounts. I am using a wood spacer to hide the cable and raise the headlampa bit as Tiger engineering place the nut
right above the wishbone arm - crunch if you hit a big bump!
Anyone any suggestions as to get a nice 2.5mm radius on the bottom edge of the metal bar apart from the file idea?
Cheers,
Pat...

And yes, they will receive a nice coat of undercoat, primer and top coat.

unless you can cover it with some lagging or whatever its called, i think that an angle grinder is easiest and fastest. unless you just use a tube and
put the wires inside it...

Though of that, but room is a bit tight even with the hub removed and the carbs are a mere 2 inches away and have been used!

Just bite the bullet and get your hand file out - it only took me about ten minutes each side and you retain much better control than using the angle
grinder.

If it's less than 5mm thick the edges only need to be blunted. When the lamp is on and the wishbone is in its running position it may not be
contactable anyway. Check it out but just rounding the edges off may be enough. You could put a piece of conduit round the bolt threads to raise the
headlamp and not use the wood.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hi.
I need the piece of wood as it is designed to hide the cable as this originally came out of the bottom of the bolt.
Think I will have to crack on with the file.

Looking at your picture you may not need to do anything. Your top is covered with wood which you can raduis easily and remember the tester can only
fail somthing if he can touch it with the 100mm dia half sphere and only from the front direction. He cannot come in from the back of the wishbone.
Looks like your top wishbone stops him touching the metal plate

Hi,
I was just thinking the same thing. I have rounded off the bottom edge of the metal with a file (not to hard to do but required loads of effort) and
the top edge of the wood so all should be well. Tried to "knee" the bracket and hurt myself, but it didn't happen so it should be
ok.

What about extending the wood so that the metal is recessed into the wood, Then just radius the wood.

Whats the radius of a woodworm hole?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Gas would have to be charcoal dioxide, its getting the splinter filler wire out of the torch thats a real bugger

This is getting silly.
SVA guy didn't even use his ball - just had a look. I did attack the bottom edges with a powerfile and cover in vinyl to make them neat.
