Default Headlight support

Silly question probly but does anyone have a good picture of how the headlight support should sit attached to the chassis? I'm guessing it sits horizontally instead of vertically like the westfield, but should the plate with the small hole face up or forwards??

Here,s a pic of how I did mine,

I attached mine to the side of the chassis rail just above the upper shock bracket, you can see I,ve used some plastic tubing to run the wires from the headlight to the inside of the engine bay, tho you could also mount the bracket on top of the chassis rail so that the wiring could be run thru the bracket, tho you would need to cut a "notch" out of the nose cone if done that way, personal preference I suppose.

Yes, the small hole / plate is pointing upwards on mine.

Be careful on the width of the brackets as if set too long they will fowl the front wings when on full steering lock ( with headlights mounted ) , the center hole of my brackets are 120mm from edge of the chassis rail.

Hope this helps.

cheers
andy

I've often wondered where people get their headlights from and how they are adjusted?

Nice one, that helps loads andy I've seen some on ebay that looked ok same with kitspares seemed to have nice ones that weren't too expensive. Haven't decided what I'm going to use yet though although I want it black so it matches the chassis & bones
