I have found that the old type plastic cheap chairs that are used in canteens etc have oval steel legs which is ideal for the headlight brackets.

I used some oval tube off an old shopping trolley that i retrieved from a ditch.
I even use the castor for build dolly, which is now been used by Baz-r Terry

I just used leftovers from top wishbones, don't see what's the big deal with the oval profile.

i managed to blag myself some tubing today from school. i might try and crush it to oval in the vice but if it looks rubbish then i'll just keep it round.
