Roll Bar mount for Rain light
charlierevell - 22/2/08 at 09:16 AM

As a high level brake light I have just purchased a round LED rain light. (Twas only a tenner!)
I'd like to run it off the roll bar if poss rather than the rear panel.
Does anyone do a mount for the roll bar with a nice CNC clamp that i could use to mount a plate to and then mount the light to that?

Would weld a plate on for neatness but i dont have a welder and havent welded for a long time.

here's the light i have LED Rain Light

Its on an angle so cant be jubilee clipped into place.

you could just carve a wooden block, paint it silver and glue it and the lamp to the bar. Very locost but would look just fine.

I want it locost... but i think i'd rather use a lump of plastic in that case!

but wood would be more eco friendly

it would reduce the carbon fot print of your car

Yeah thanks guys! haha

Would that be someway to getting thru the congestion charges? Eco friendly style!

Any sensible ideas about? I'd like to get it done this weekend

3 fitted to a welded bracket on the cage

could you use some exhaust type clamps and ally plate to make a non permanent mount

I have the same challenge. Been thinking about using the clamps that are often used to fit headlights or clip-on bars to motorcycle fork down-tubes, but haven't compared roll bar diameter to down-tube diameter yet to see if it is feasible.

I want it just like the above but not welded as i cant...

Im getting close to checking drainpipe clip dimensions and using those mounted to either some plate or relatively thick plastic.

The dilema continues....
