    The making of a Provent bracket.

    provent bracket.jpg

    The first part of the Provent Bracket. Being a non welder I'm using epoxy on the joint. Being not too skilled in metalwork, I'm using flat iron and 90 degree angle iron. I'm going to have to get a few more clamps as the 15 hour cure time will drag this out for weeks!

    The angle iron will bolt on to the burglar horn bracket. The flat will screw on to the upside down turn off switch bracket.

    Before I had a Land Rover I did not have any torque wrenches. Now I have three.

    I'll test a section with a hammer. It is pretty strong. Did I mention, Lotus epoxy their cars.

    Make sure the epoxy doesn't soften from heat, it can get hot in the engine bay. I would go the bolts and nylocks as a precaution like rangieman suggested.
    Re lotus the build quality is probably a bit better than D2/D2a's. LOL
