Outback Jack 6,352 Posted November 1, 2014 Hey Xtreme , mate just watch that wire sleeve stuff, if the ends or sides are open water gets in and shorts ya connections. I prefer to hand wrap/loom the wiring in electrical tape, just be sure to use a good quality one like Nitto or similiar or it will just come apart.... a bit like buick v6 /commodore motors..... Nice to have good lights on a dark road. Jack. 4 XTREME KARTS XF, XFChris, Ando81 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XFChris 126 Posted November 2, 2014 Wire sleeve could work well when paired up with electrical tape wrapped loom, twice the protection. Though a well wrapped loom looks cleaner in my book. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve mcqueen 1,796 Posted November 2, 2014 Mark, can you "Zap" that square tube to the roll bar and do away with those nasty lookin U bolts? (would only need a weld here and there) Appearance is everything 2 XTREME KARTS XF and Ando81 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(would only need a weld here and there)Appearance is everything Sorry mate but I gotta agree here I know you're not going for a showroom look but a tack of weld would look really neat without the clamps.

XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted November 5, 2014 Theres a down side to welding that square tubing to the rollbar, how am i supposed to aim the spot lights to the middle of the road instead of being all over the place lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Polson 10,214 Posted November 5, 2014 By adjusting them at the base? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted November 5, 2014 By adjusting them at the base? The base bolts to the sqaure tubing and the light bolts to the base, i aimed the spotties by eye, really i cant weld the tubing to the rollbar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve mcqueen 1,796 Posted November 5, 2014 Mark, perhaps some right angle iron in 2 small 60mm (6cm long) length's zapped to the bar instead, that way you can access the bolt from the light, get a spanner on it to tighten and what not. If you stood up the iron on its edge facing the front you could master it like that and once all wired back up some white paint and presto 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even some 30x30 will work. People told me to drill and bolt though the rollbar but i didnt want to crush the tubing, if i was going to do that i'll machine up some crush tubes/sleeves in a lathe, drill the holes and bolt the light in place.

Ando81 2,949 Posted November 6, 2014 If you lived closer mate I could help you weld something on to make a suitable bracket. All nice and neat 2 steve mcqueen and XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
