FAB: Has Anyone MADE Their Own HEADLIGHT MOUNTS?? The Part ON THE HEADLIGHT???

I took a steel ball and used it as a die .Took a locking caller from a bearing put it in the hyd press squized a piece of sheet metal between them and made a headlight bracket for my 42 wla. Worked out well

 

That's what I had in my head too.

If my pair of salvaged mounts don't come through to cut up, that's a good option.

 

These are in my scrap pile, don't know what they the fit, and don't really care. They're yours if you want them, call, text, or email me to let me know. I can cut out the parts you want keep and ship off a package USPS Priority Mail tomorrow. Hopefully, by morning the frozen dirt inside the one will have thawed out.

I'll look when it's light out to see if I have anything else that might work for you.

 

I have some old POS lights that have good mounts still left on the bottom side that should work for you. i took them over to moms house. She said you took of running when she got naked also.
Their still on the porch!

 

Damn, billy. I think those would have worked, but I have a set on the way. If what I get doesn't work, I'll hit you up.

Stay warm!!

 

worst case, curved flat steel for the plate and industrial metal (i know they're not by you) sells 1/2 a ball in different sizes or any place that sells pre formed metal for fences. i made the shift knob out of the medium size ones.

Sounds good, I'm sure I can come up with something that will work for you. I'll try to stay warm, it's only a balmy 21 degrees right now.

You missed out on Thee Unofficial Two-Part Inland Emperors Christmas Par-Tay, last night. Part One: Taking over the bar of a local Chinese restaurant for drinks & dinner. Part Two: Your choice of seeing the band Wiskey Dick Mountain or attending the drag show at the Gay Bar next door.

UPDATE: it was Thee Unoffical THREE PART Inland Emperors Christmas Par-Tay. I missed the best part of the night. See Chris' post below.

 

Yeah but Billy...you missed part three- the house party crashing. Yeah, we wern't invited, but Tim Hein lost his shirt and is a dancing machine, Jamie tried piercing Brandon's nipple with an Emperors pin (didn't work), and John was chuggin a 40.

 

Damn! Part Three sounds like the best part of the night! Note to Self: never leave an Emperors Par-tay early.
