Head Light Stands ,Lets see em

[jmr122848]

ok I'm going to try this.BH if you can see them, thees are the stands I made for John's car. they are made from four pieces of 1/8" steal and I am not as good a fabricator as most on here. they curve up from the frame and mount the shocks and lights.

hard to see but the only pic I have online

Like I said about the original picture... a pair of headlight stands in the foreground, and one in the background...

 

[Bill Pedersen]

Hey BH,
Here is a steel design on a T-bucket that was at the Goodguys event in Kansas City a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Todd]

Great detail shots Bill. Those stands look like they serve 3 purposes.

 

[bentbaggerlen]

My headlight stands are steel, and welded directly to the frame. My bucket is going to more truck then car so I wanted something that looked beefy, fact is you can stand on them and they dont move. They look crooked in this photo, but not on the car.

 

[VegasBruce]

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"

I'll have to pull her out of the garage to get a pic of the base. They're bolted in with riv-nuts nice and tight with no wiggle.

Here is a pic from the front though.

 

[EX JUNK]

I made mine by using a section out of a 3/4" thin wall conduit 90 degree sweep, a piece of 2" exhaust tubing an a piece of 1 1/2" angle iron. Since my car is rather low I did not want my lights sticking up high. This set up allows the lights to mount nice and low.

 

[EX JUNK]

Sorry, I guess I have forgotten how to post a picture. I'll try again later and see if I can do it.

 

[EX JUNK]

Okay, I think I've got it now...

 

[EX JUNK]

Here's another with the headlight mounted

 

[EX JUNK]

One more...

 

[RexRod]

One more...

That's really clean looking. Is that a torsion bar front suspension? I don't see a leaf spring.

Oh, I bet you're running quarter ellipticals?

That a great deal $100.00 dollars for peter built lights with the small marker in the top ring and as you stated it can be wired to make the marker a directional. Is the marker clear are amber I like the clears ether way great buy.

 

[Baby Huey]

Okay, I think I've got it now...

Thank's "junk", thats just what I had in mind. I think those look pretty clean, simple to build. I should be able to handle that.... Thank's ! "BH"

 

[butch27]

Isn't thinwall going to fracture from vibration? They look great. Where is the exhaust tubing used?

 

[Rick]

Thats the big round top on the stands
