yes, it makes sense

but , I,ve just realised my suggestion is flawed......as i,ll need to get the wires thru the tube so the nut/bolt at nose end won,t work

"Thinking cap" is on.......me,s thinking "hollow thread " & nut .....hmmm

been a long day, maybe i,m not "thinking clearly enough"...can,t see woods for the tree,s etc

You could drill a hole in the nose cone the same diamater as the tube, then fabricate a bracket to the front of the chassis to hold the tube.

I think bolting to the nose cone is asking for trouble! as the slightest Knock on the stork, even a small bird will crock the nosecone.

only my thoughts!

Dave,.....I like that idea

Twin......... Yes I see your point , but I must say that the area of the nose cone where I,m thinking of putting the indicators is very substantial indeed .

I,ve seen Adrian H,s front indicator location, sadly, if I did the same it would mean I,d need to do more welding, but don,t want to spoil my nice shiney paintwork



cheers for your suggestions.

Andy,

I did a similar thing to one of your ideas, except I made my extensions out of black electrical conduit. I epoxied a nut into each end so I could then screw the indicator to the extension.

I did however have to drill a hole through a bolt to get the wires from the indicator into the nose cone. Doesn't look to bad, as is cheap & chearful to keep mr iva happy.

Cheers
