Roofrack build .FITTED...

<< < (8/15) > >>

lee celtic:
Well unless I get any more replies telling me it looks rubish this is how the front is going to stay :dance:.




I've been in the garage trying different layouts and I keep coming back to this  :D

I Have also got another set of spots with grills (ebay 10 quid) so there will be four round lights on the front , Two work lamps on the back and a rectangular lamp on each side above the doors .

I am also thinking of fitting a couple of universal brake lights next to the work lamps on the back to give early warning to people a long way behind...

I am thinking of running one big wire to the rack to earth it then I only need to take live wires to the lamps is this possible?? and will it work??

and the last thing (for now ;)) quick fists for the hi lift are they any good :-k

stuntman:
Well mate, that does look cracking. Well done, I reckon it'd look a lot better with 4 big Wipacs and their grills on there though  :twisted:

Chris Putt:
looks a proper job mate, the only comment I would make would be, could you make the mount tabs for the spots a bit longer, so the spots could sit further back and be better protected?

Chris

wrecker:
nice job on the rack lee :clap:

quick fists would be ok as long as the jack is laying down,they held mine on the roof with out any probs at all :D

as for the earth strap,it would be alot better if it earth on the rack,thats the way i done mine,with a fuse for every pair of lights :wink:

lee celtic:
Ok The Rack has moved on a bit more ... :D

I have finished the fabrication today so the welder can be put away now  :dance: Then I found one of the cans of paint I got had a dodgy top so I ran out of paint :doh: most is now undercoated and about a third is blacked . I have stripped the old light bar and used some of the tube on the rack . I will also be using the bulbs for the new lights as one set didn't come with any.

so here are a few more piccies .. and with a bit of luck I can get the paint finished tomorrow . so far I have used 8 lengths of tube @ £3.60 each 2 cans of paint @ £6.50 each . and four new spots and two work lamps total cost £30 .




I am planing to fit boards to the rack when it's finished like these...

Any ideas what thickness/material they are made of anybody??
