Do they screw into the drip rail or clamp on?

midunes 09-25-2014 01:56 PM

Re: Hickey windshield light brackets NEW
 
They screw on just below the drip rail. 3 screws for each bracket.

I felt the same way then I looked at my swing spare tire carrier, and aux fuel tanks and said f it it's not a concourse truck. Its just a fun truck never going to 72 ferrari dino gt, just a fun truck. Might as well.

Ya that's true I do have the tire rack I'll think about it I do like them. Do you know what type of lights bolt to them? I have the same hood in the pic above.

most any light with a 7/16 or 1/2 stud would work.

Thanks. But don't imagine either, it will give you nightmares.

What did you use for screws, and what do you plan for the wiring routing? Look real nice on there!

midunes 09-29-2014 05:04 PM

Re: Hickey windshield light brackets NEW
 
stainless self tapping #8

wiring can feed through the hollow windshield frame Thanks

Thank's. By the way, how high is your garage door header? I think I should have built a bigger pole barn with higher access doors!

Thank's for the measurement on your header height. My pole barn also has a 8' header. I found some old pic's of these mounts. The brown K5 is what inspired my build. Mag is Four Wheeler from 1984. Other one is from a 4 Wheel&OffRoad mag from 1979. Hope the pic's turn out, been saving them for a long time. By the way, have you ever seen the shields under the lights? TTT for you!Attachment 1307872

Curios about the screws to use. #8 stainless self tapping. How long, 1" or ? Checked all my local stores and nothing available like that here. Found 1" sheet metal screws in stainless at our home depot with a pan head, seem a bit short? Could you use a 1" stainless self tapper with a screw head? Any advice here would be great. TTT FOR YA!
