Spotlight mounting

[SWARTLUX]

So ek het spotlights gekoop nou die vraag is waar mount ek hulle?
Ek wil nie die radiator block nie en ook nie die nommer plaat toemaak nie en wil hom ook nie graag skuif nie want hy gan nie pas op 'n ander plek as wat hy reeds is nie.

My logika sê vir my om brackets van stainless steel te maak dat die spots aan die buitekante va ndie nudge bar sit of gaan dit simpel lyk?Ek het nog nie een gesien waar dit so gedoen is nie?

Ongelukkig het nie nudge bar geen plekke om te mount nie behalwe voor die nommerplaat so ek gan moet brackets maak.

Waar sal julle voorstel sit mens die spots, Behalwe op die rollbar want ek het reeds 4 spots wat ek daar wil mount ook?

Sit 'n foudie of twee op sodat ons kan sien waarvan jy praat. Voor die radiator is nie te veel van 'n probleem nie as daar genoeg gaping agter is vir lug.

Sorry hierdie is al wat ek vir nou het

Ja look, in front of the number plate won't work. On the sides is probably the best position IRO rigidity and airflow to the radiator but it's too low .... it's OK for fog lights but driving spots should be higher, so I would mount them on top of the nudge bar if the bar is sturdy. If it's not, you will get a lot of 'shake' on the spot beams which can be quite irritating.

Hi Brian
I have mine mounted on the sides of the bar just below the headlight, like in your third pic. These are fogs but I also have another set of transparent spot lenses and this position works very well. Just get good lights and make your mounting very sturdy.

[SWARTLUX]

Can you maby email me or post a close up of your mounting bracket here on this topic as it seems your way is the way I will go eventually so will need to make up some brackets.

Sorry Brian but I am working overseas and dont have my beloved Lux with me
It is quite easy though. Dont use just flatbar for the mounting, but something like a T section or even angle will do.
Looks a lot better when properly shaped with rounded or chamfered corners.

That's ok don't think it will be that difficult to make just need to get it to be sturdy enough other wise its going to look like the lights are bouncing around on the road will use stainless steel with some kind of reinforcement somewhere.

I agree with Andy, option 3 is prize#1. for option 2 you'll have to be prepared to clean the spots after water crossings.

Personally I would try to find a compromise between option 2 & 3 i.e have the horisontal centre of the spots in line with the horisontal centre of the top part of the nudge bar

So iets?

Net so weet nie hoe dit gaan lyk nie, jy sal maar moet kyk

Jy kan dit selfs meer na die middel toe skuif op dieselfde hoogte; sit die brackets net bo die nommerplaat. Jou spot sal dan meer vooruitstrewend wees, maar as dit nie pla nie, hoekom nie...

Ek het myne met water pyp clamps vas gemaak ,soo 20 mm breet en jy kry alle grootes.
Vyl net die clamp nouer by die spot light dan kan jy hom stel.

[Stef]

Daai is nou 'n eenvoudige maar slim plan Sit net 'n rubbertjie onder die clamp en daar gaan jy....

[Mud Dog]

Goeie idee .... dan kan jy hulle mos skuif langs die pyp tot waar hulle die beste pas.

Moes die seker lankal gepost het,

Hier is my spotlight mounting brackets,het dit al 'n tydjie op en moet erken dit is stewig maar hopeloos te laag en steek te ver uit voor so sal maar later 'n ander bumper laat opsit of maak en dan dit weer skuif maar vir tyd en wyl sal dit maar moet doen

Hi

Waar kry n mens die brackets op die Hella Comet 500 wat Mikama aan gesit het??

[ThysdJ]

Kyk by Agrimark,of Andrag in La Belle weg..

[warrenaken]

Mine are here, could be a bit higher.
Get muddy quickly, are below long grass and can fill with water.
Otherwise on the open road, work like a charm.
