Well Ive managed to get some Cibie Oscars for my Mini. But can't find anyone selling brackets to fit them, two up, two down, anymore. I could make some but does anyone now where I might get a pair?.
Nearly there!!.
Cheers

I always make my own brackets for my rally cars to take either Cibie Super-Oscars or the 8" PIAA spotlights. I can get 4 lights on the bracket if required, but normally only run 2 (with 100w bulbs it's all you really need).
If I knw how to post a photo on here I would do so, but I'll email a copy of a photo of one of my rally cars showing the lamps directly yo tou.
I use a 2.5" x 1/4" thick aluminium strip and 14 swg steel for the supports. The supports at each end are 2" wide and the centre one is 1" wide. At the top of each lamp I make up a steady from a long jubilee clip and screw this to the top of the front panel with rivnuts and small allen head cap screws.
The advantage with this type of bracket is that if I go off, not an unknown event, I find the brackets bend before damaging the bumper of front panel.
