landydave Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 So i've got some driving lights but can't get the buggers to fit on the A-bar without fouling the rad grille. I've got a thin steel grill but the back of the lights still pushes it inwards. Anyone solved this other than trying to drill out the mounting brackets further forward (and spending £12 on a one use drill bit) I also thought of mounting them on the bumper and enlarging the pre-drilled holes but would rather avoid the drilling... any ideas?

zulublue Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I know it's obvious, but get smaller dish spot lights Your bumper must either sit back miles or the spots are dustbin lids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 slacken the 'A' bar bolts & see if it will pull forward so the lights bowls will clear or just lightly touch the grille, only other way is to elongate the bolt holes or make a distance plate up so it fits between the lights bolt & A bar mounting tabs, these will move the lights forward as much as you want, just make them to the length to suit.

Drilled some new holes in the light mounting brackets and bob's yer uncle. Should've gone for a air-con a-bar originally and they would had had loads of room...

discojamz Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 is the A bar on the right way round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landydave Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 is the A bar on the right way round? arf arf... They're only 8" maxtel's. Will post pics asap. Unfortunately they're going to stay cosmetic for a while until i get all the other spots/wiring i want and a mud dash then pay someone to put it all in in a one-er.
