Head Light Stands ,Lets see em
- Thread starter Baby Huey
- Start date
I don't have a picture of one but I've wondered about using the last 10" or so from a rear radius rod from a '40 Ford. A simple three bolt flange bent at a 90 degree angle to bolt it to the frame and a pod on the other end. Might look cool with your Hondulie shocks BH

The headlights on peterbuilts are cool but the stands go from bottom of headlight and mount towards the side.

I'd like to see a couple pics of some head light stands, ( STEEL ONES!!) anybody got any.... Thank's !
Hey BH, I used CCR shock towers, mounted on the outside of my frame and then bolted a Model A headlight bracket to them.
Thank's Grant !! Thats kinda what I was wanting to see....just a bracket so I had some idea of fabrication.
I already have the old Ford shocks so I could just cut out and bend up a bracket like your shock bracket and bend an "ear" on the top with a hole for the little cup doo-hickie thingy and presto, should work.
Thank's Again !..... "BH"

BH, here is something a little different. Its 1/2 inch steel plate.

Bruce what does the bottom of the bracket look like where it bolts or welds onto the frame ?
I'm thinkin of Bolting mine onto the frame side and top, but I'm only .188 on the tube so it won't hold a 3/8" or 7/16" thread too well without inserts or a thread plate. Kinda hate to weld em on incase they get damaged or a cop car smashes into me...
(Sorry Fred...)Thank's for the picture ! "BH"

It's a '29 headlight bar with the ends moved to the center. It mounts to the top of the rails.

I have thought about using the short chromed round tube mounts like the ones that are in the Speedways cats. They would mount clean on the top of the frame, I'd have to cut out a couple thread plates and hole saw the frame and weld em in and grind em off, that wouldn't be too tuff to do.
I'd like to bend the tubes out of heavy wall tube or Double xtra heavy pipe so they don't vibrate. Nothin looks worse than bouncing vibrating headlites commin at ya on the highway..... ( "iz that a Harley commin at us or is it a T-Bucket???") LOL
Thanks ! Ron ! "BH"
