At last. Finally got a half decent headlight mount sorted after about five failed attempts.


Used the redundant brake splitter mount as a starting point for this turned alloy bar
Image

That takes some suitably shaped for strength alloy strips.
Image

Which were drilled to take a pair of modified stainless plates which i had lurking around
Image

Then added some turned alloy cup washers to tidy up the caphead bolt heads.
Image

Then give it a bit of a polish and bolt it all together.
Image

And here it is.
Image

Image

Just a few minor jobs and a good session with the solvol and the build is complete. :hoo

Outstanding work throughout the build, the result is exceptional! Really enjoyed this thread, thanks. It'd look great on a poster too!
