Worklight mounting

(1/3) > >>

narked:
Right, so I've got a worklight that I want to somehow attach to the rear of my Disco, to aid in reversing in rather dark places (no I am not going to be in rather dark places for any dodgy reasons!) and to improve light manouvering trailers about after dark.

And here's my question, where/how should I go about mounting it? Is it possible for me to mount it to the standard bodywork (without doing any real irrepairable damage), or am I going to need to get a single roofbar and mount it onto that?

Cheers,
Matt

Guardian.:
I HAVE MADE A COUPLE OF REAR LIGHT BARS FOR CUSTOMERS, BUT TO BE HONEST THEY ARE A PAIN IN DE AS, AS THERE IS NOT REALLY ANY EASY AND RIGID WAY OF FIXING.
I WOULD SUGGEST FOR JUST ONE LIGHT, RIVET A PLATE TO THE ROOF SOMEWERE WITH A LAMP BRACKET WELDED ON IT.
USE PLENTY OF SILICONE BETWEEN SO IT DONT LEAK, I THINK IT WOULD LOOK BETTTER TO.

Dr.Ed:
Mag mount it? the roof of the discovery is steel - then you can store the light inside until needed.

Got a pair on mine either side of the rear door mounted on CB aerial gutter mounts  :wink:

narked:
Hrm, a few ideas there for me to think about. Guttermounts might be worth looking into...

Where do you run the cabling, through the rear door seal? That's where I've currently got my cb cable, not worried about it adding to any leakage at the mo due to the door being not very well aligned and letting water in anyway :P. Though at some point if I ever sort the door out, it'd be nice if the cabling didn't let water in.
