Front fog/spot lamp brackets

Post by Neil MG »

Does anyone know if there are any purpose made brackets for fitting front spot/fog lights.

I have a pair of bottom mounting Lucas Fograngers (although the fitting would be the same for the Lucas 576 type) and I cannot just bolt to the Bumper valence because it's GRP (fibreglass) and isn't strong enough.

Or if someone has a good method for fitting or a simple bracket design, before I design and make something myself.

not mine! - it belongs to the gentleman my mum works for - he allowed us to use it for a couple of weeks for the final push to get the car finished - absolutely indebted to him!
it's designed for lorries, as he owns a plethora of 1930s lorries. the minor JUST fits on, though!

mmmm... :oops:

a week of working 12 and a half hour days on it took its toll on me! - all is cleared now, though!
i'm keeping my full tool box in the back until it's behaved for a while - and it must be doing the fuel consumption a world od good! :p
