Re: RCR Bodywork tips

Roger-

Awesome! Thanks.

For your question, check out the attached pics. I too had the biggest mental gap looking at the brackets and hearing the concept. A call to Fran and a perusal of JayPSC's thread got me on the right track. Long story short is you fab a bracket out of alu or flat stock (super easy), fit some bolts into it as bracket studs, and glass it into place. Unfortunately I didn't take many pics in process but the attached show the end result (albeit from a little bit afar).

PM me your email address and I can send you a few hi-res pics of what I did. Honestly it is pretty simple once you get through it mentally. Unfortunately it's rather tough to type up a description though.

Edit: first one shows the flat bracket I made with the small bolts held in like studs and prior to fiberglassing them in. The second shows the lamp held into the bracket and the bracket mounted over the studs with springs and thumbwheels. Not completely easy to see but I do have higher res of these and can take others if you need.

Cheers,
