  • I like the look of these, but can't bring myself to pay what they cost.

    Can anyone think of a way to DIY something similar (ie the wire look) without welding or machining? I have a few ideas for the clamping section, but can't think how you would fix the wire section to the headlight mount without welding to the washers.

    ... or could it be as simple as having a tight enough curve to hold a bolt?

    Anyone got any bright ideas?

  • If you've got a tight enough curve you could do either a washer either side of the wire or a bolt with a big head and washer the other side. Would make assembly more fiddly but it's not like it's going to be under huge loads?

  • Might folded eyebolts, (Orbital Fastenings code 3141000),
    long shank dynamo eyebolt, (OF 2711200), or
    joint connector nut, (OF 5025000),
    or, even,
    D-shackles, (OF 2931010), (one on each side of the lamp?),
    be of use?
