Title: Driving light bracketry
Post by: f1fascination on January 15, 2014, 08:57:31 PM
Guys, I picked up some awesome period-correct Carello spot lights and I want to fit them up to the front of my GTV, but obviously don't want to go boring holes in my shiny front bumper. Has anyone got a lead on some brackets that might fit up to the front valance or grill?

what ever you do don't attache anything to a 2L front Grill, those things have the structural integrity of timtam biscuit, and not even one that has been in the fridge.

one option would be to run some angle iron behind the bumper attached to the standard bumper mounting points, then attach some brackets off that that come up behind the bumper? bit of fabrication involved, but that's usually the way when can't drill holes in things

i guess the other thing is, do you really need 6 headlights ;D

Yup, thought that might be the case.
And yes, I do need 6 lights, for the "boy racer" look, of course!

Remove front bumper, hang driving lights from brackets at the bumper mounting holes - will give a real "boy racer" look to it :)
