iv drilled a 4mm hole to pass the cable through the top rail into the headlamp brackets. i was just going to cut them midway and remove a section of the oval tube then reweld rather than tryng to cut near the chassis( knowing my luck id cut through the top rail!). If i do this will they cause clearance isues later on?

thanks

Just cut them very near the top rail if you are worried about cutting into it then dress it back flush with a flap disc

Shorten them and weld them back on, it will save mucking about trying to cut them in the middle, shorten them and weld them back together again neatly.

I thought the brackets looked too long too, but assumed I must have done it wrong..

Phew!
