thanks mate. i plan on making just a little bar for my 8274 and uhf aerial and possibly some spotties if i find some cheap enough.was thinking about mounting them on the guards like the factory indicators. but i dunno bout this idea
Nice. looking good
When i was looking for spotties, i found e-bay was on par with the usual auto stores (repco, Bursons etc..) plus most e-bay sites are free p&h. and you dont have to go out and find them.
I would, personally, keep the lights on the Bar you will be making.

well i have some photos to upload tomorrow. i got a roadworthy on it thursday so its all sweeet. exc ept for this morning when i was driving it to the tyre shop, developed quite a knock. and eventually shut itself down on the side of the road. got it home and pulled the head off and number 6 piston is hitting the valve. so im dropping it at engine reconditioners tomorrow morning! thats just the last thing i need.
Sorry to hear about the motor mate. Hope they fix it for ya quick smart, so then you can get out and do some wheeling.
