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

(images can be zoomed right into)

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?

That's a good idea. A nice big bolt head could look good if I get a stainless one and polish. Serrated washers should help as well.

I was thinking about threading the end of the wire and screwing with threadlock into some female lifting eyes (tidied up of course).
