headlight bar

What have people done for this, round or square section, bent at ends, a complete bar or two short peices one each sied a la caterham, and are they stable enough- caterham seem to use an add'l stay to stiffen.

I cut and bent a piece of 20mm*40mm RHS, not to bad once it's fully welded.

See attached pic.

All the best Dan.

Why is the cat stuck to your carpet lined wall?

I wondered if he'd just thrown a cat against a wall!

Poor thing! Call the RSPCA!

Looks like the one my mate had. He fitted a magnetically operated catflap to the door and put a magnet on the cats collar. Waited outside for twenty minutes to see if the thing worked then gave up and went in to find the cat stuck to the fridge.

It's a story I like, not the truth.





yours, Pete

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

Offhand I think it's minimum 450mm to the bottom of the illuminated area and not more than 400mm from the extreme outside edge of the vehicle for headlamps 350mm for front indicators and similar from edge. There was a draft copy of the regs on the net but I think it's been removed now, I have a copy somewhere if you want it.
