Any ideas ? I'm having a thicker day than normal !

a spacer can be made from bodyfiller and a make shift diy mould.
some people have even taken tape and set the lamp at the angle wanted and filled the void with body filler then sanded to get a good finish.
other ideas have been short angled bits of tube of some form or making steel or alloy bespoke mounts.
iirc the fog must be pointing directly backward or squarely to the rear in iva book

I've found some offcuts of what looks like square drainpipe. I cut it at an angle and it doesn't look too bad, I'll post a picture later.

Thumbs up Thanks

Hi all
Can I just say thank you to all of you, I was just about to fit the lights on my car and was slightly puzzled on these matters, but you cleared it all for me.
Thanks again Axle
