    As some of you maybe aware I got these two headlights from fleabay for £16.99 each :)
    The idea is to make a set of twin headlights for my BPOS to give it a Storm kinda look :cool: IMG_0426.JPG made this crossbar but can't get the lights to line up properly so I've had a rethink and....., IMG_0427.JPG ....pinched this off the prison bar headlight currently fitted to the BPOS :) IMG_0429.JPG needs filing flat because it's curved to take the headlight:confused: IMG_0430.JPG started to make a new design crossbar :)
    IMG_0431.JPG Will keep pictures coming as I progress :p

    Ok....as I've already said the first crossbar I made would throw the headlights all too cock:( so after a trial run this is what I'm going with :)
    A sturdy bit of flat metal bar
    Made a location dowel out of a bolt and welded it in place IMG_0432.JPG drilled the necessary holes and used epoxy resin and a countersink bolt to hold it altogether :) IMG_0433.JPG couldn't weld it because one parts aluminium and one parts steel:( IMG_0434.JPG started dressing it up and hopefully get it painted later today :)
    The bottom two pictures should have been the other way around but you get the idea :p

    Just made these :)
    They go inside the lights so I can tighten them up without being inside the light bowls :)
    Means I can hold the lights in position and tighten them to the crossbar without them twisting out of alignment :p IMG_0435.JPG

    Ooooh...satin BLACK :cool:
    Have left the lens clamps gloss BLACK :cool: hoping for a nice contrast between the lens/clamp/bowl :) IMG_0440.JPG waiting for some metal badges to arrive from fleabay which I intend to affix to the lenses :)
    So started messing with designs on the front of the lenses and have decided to go with this design but won't know what or if I like them until the badges are here :confused: IMG_0441.JPG

    Ok....was gonna post these as I went along but couldn't get on the forum :confused:
    So the badges came this morning :)
    Decided to get rid of the BLACK :cool: T shape on the lenses and put the badges on by themselves....I've mounted them slightly lower than centre :) IMG_0443.JPG paint dried nicely overnight :) so being careful not to scratch anything I started the assembly :confused:
    The clamp screw and nut that holds the lens to the bowl was a right pig of a job:mad:
    You need 4 hands so got a mate at work to help me :p
    Even though we're busy :rolleyes: IMG_0442.JPG This is them finished :)
    I'm well pleased with how they've turned out :) IMG_0444.JPG and although you can't see it in these pictures I think the contrast between lens/gloss clamp and satin bowls gives them a product look :cool: IMG_0445.JPG anyway I'm chuffed at the end product :)
    Now comes the bloody wiggly amps bit:(
    Might have a go on Sunday....but I might not :confused:
    I'm out for a meal Saturday night and depending how much I drink (hee hee :rolleyes:) will determine if they get fitted or not :p
    Next picture will be them fitted to the BPOS :cool:
    But don't hold your breath :p
