Do they screw into the drip rail or clamp on?

midunes · 09-25-2014, 01:56 PM

They screw on just below the drip rail. 3 screws for each bracket.

**Blazerowner** · 09-25-2014, 02:58 PM

Ya I don't want to drilll. Too bad they don't clamp on they are pretty cool.

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.

**Blazerowner** · 09-25-2014, 08:59 PM

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.

midunes · 09-25-2014, 09:11 PM

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

midunes · 09-25-2014, 10:21 PM

I have cibie 175's

doo142 · 09-26-2014, 06:38 AM

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

swyfor5 · 09-29-2014, 04:24 PM

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

stainless self tapping #8

wiring can feed through the hollow windshield frame Thanks

swyfor5 · 09-29-2014, 08:32 PM

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!

doors are 8ft tall 10ft wide...even clears with the roof rack

swyfor5 · 10-01-2014, 06:48 PM

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!

cool pics...thanks for sharing

swyfor5 · 10-23-2014, 08:49 PM

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!
