has any one got any pics of minis with these fitted?

are they 2 brackets or are they bars like the 2 and 3 lamp ones?

also any one know were i can get sum? i couldnt find them on minispares website and a quick search on here didnt find anything

do you mean these ones?....



well if you do, you can get them from a few places but it think mine were from a show and i cant remember the name of the company i got them from (but they are still around).
they are basically two spotlights mounted as normal with a bar running between the clamps on the lights.
this has two more mounting points attached in the middle...



yes they do look nice but because all that weight is mounted on the two normal brackets, the top two lights do wobble quite a bit. i solved this by running a small bracket from the back of the top two lights, through the grille and into the front panel.

it stopped them wobbling but it was a pain when you wanted to take the grille off.

i took then off in the end because they were going rusty.

Please excuse the rust, its undergoing a major rehaul at the moment.

[mini25]

thats exactly what i mean, where did u get the brackets from?? shop/show/2nd hand

also how are they wired up? is it so that they only come on on full beam, or is there a seperate switch for them?

Just get some metal abuot 1/4inch thick, cut it into long strips. Bend them, and then weld the pieces together.

I first put mine on last year, but removed them before THIS.

Ive just bought a works lamp bar, so ive got the choise of the 2up2down, or the 4across.

A poor drawing i did on paint.

PM JetBlick and ask him to to do a cad drawing of 2up2down brakets

The brackets are make out of steel Bar abuot an inch wide and 1/4 of an inch thick if that helps at all.

cheers for that one mininman pie although the drawing is a bit "sketchy" i think i can figure it out from the pictures and the drawing..... couple questions though... where it bolts to the bumper lip.... you take the bumper off then drill a hole through the lip and bolt it on..... does the bumper not foul when you try to re-install it..... as it has to sit over top of the two peices of 1/4" steel.....if at all possible to get pics of the actual brackets and the mount points on your car that would be awesome....

thanks.
